Whistling of turbulent cavity flows: Self-consistent predictions with the linearized compressible Navier-Stokes equations

Nikolaos Bozikis, Dilara Özev, Nicolas Noiray

A self-consistent saturation model for the prediction of aeroacoustic limit cycles emerging in turbulent low-Mach cavity flows (Re=O(10^5), M\simeq 0.2) is proposed. It predicts th…
