High frequency actuation reduces near field
jet sound by inhibiting coherent structures Synergy between CFD and experiment pays off
• Experiments reveal small
high-frequency actuation can
reduce jet noise
• But how do high-frequency
techniques actually affect the
structures that generate
noise?
• This research suggests that
the signals inhibit the growth
of coherent structures in the
near field, which in turn affects
the far field noise

Novel Measurements of Carbon Oxidation
Rates Under Controlled Conditions Carbon ablation models rely on oxidation rate data; previous
measurements were obtained under poorly controlled
conditions, making it difficult to interpret the data. The
University of Arizona team has developed a new approach to
reduce these uncertainties and provide accurate data.
