frequency of StD = 1.5 the sound spectrum of the sideline<br />

direction shows a marked decrease since at the current<br />

low Reynolds number the turbulence energy decay<br />

occurs immediately in the high frequency band. The effect<br />

of the modified entropy source is clearly observed<br />

over the wide frequency band of the downstream and<br />

the sideline acoustics. Especially, in the sideline acoustics<br />

the first order approximation involved in the original<br />

formulation overestimates the low frequency acoustics.<br />

However, in the downstream direction the modification<br />

of the entropy source impacts on the high frequency<br />

noise. Accoding to the recent study concerning<br />

jet noise mechanisms [24] the sound spectrum is dominated<br />

by large turbulence structures and fine-scale turbulence.<br />

The large turbulence structure dominates the<br />

jet downstream acoustics. In other words, the modified<br />

entropy source term describes with accuracy the acoustic<br />

cancellation in a high frequency band. The acoustic cancellation<br />

is involved in the convection of the large scale<br />

turbulent structures.<br />

4 Conclusion<br />

To understand the impact of an inhomogeneous density<br />

field on the acoustics, the flow field and the acoustic field<br />

of a helium-mixture and a hot-air coaxial jet configuration<br />

have been analyzed. The hot-air coaxial jet has<br />

an equivalent density distribution as the helium-mixture<br />

coaxial jet. The comparison of the turbulent flow fields<br />

shows almost an identical distribution of the mean velocity<br />

and the turbulence intensity. The strong density<br />

gradient in the coaxial jets enhances the turbulent mixing<br />

resulting in a strong increase of the Reynolds stress<br />

distribution near the end of the potential core. The comparison<br />

of the old and the new entropy-source formulation<br />

shows the impact of the inhomogeneous density distribution<br />

on the acoustic field determined by the hybrid<br />

LES /APE approach. The present analysis of the acoustic<br />

source terms was detailed by considering two features<br />

characterizing the sound generation in the hot-air coaxial<br />

jet. The first feature is the downstream acoustics due to<br />

the large scale turbulence at the end of the jet potential<br />

core and the second feature is the sideline acoustics the<br />

low-frequency acoustics of which was enhanced by the<br />

density gradient. Using the excess density expression<br />

the APE-4 system quantifies the detailed acoustics generated<br />

by an inhomogeneous flow field. The original noise<br />

source formulation overpredicted the acoustic radiation<br />

due to the missing contribution of small-scale turbulence.<br />

The deficit of this high-order source contribution could<br />

lead to an overestimate of the low frequency acoustics<br />

since at the low frequency band the low-order acoustics<br />

is a more efficient sound source than the high-order component.<br />

The proposed new entropy term based on the<br />

excess density does not introduce this surplus acoustics.<br />
