- Abstract
A scale model experimental study is conducted addressing howl occurring during engine tests in the Propulsion Systems Laboratory (PSL) of NASA Glenn Research Center. The aim is to understand the sources of the howling noise and find possible remedies. It is shown that a jet discharged into the model of the PSL entrance duct gives rise to high levels of low frequency noise. This occurs apparently due to duct acoustic modes randomly excited by the jet. Wire-mesh screens of various mesh size and configuration as well as tabs, placed at the end of the model duct, are shown to affect the noise. Comparative effects of these configurations are studied, and some are found to alleviate the low-frequency noise significantly. Based on these results, the equivalent of a 4-mesh screen is recommended as the end treatment for the duct of the PSL facility.
