Overset grid techniques for the simulation of supersonic jet noise

In the present research project the method of overset grid techniques is used to simulate a compressible supersonic jet and its emanated aeroacoustic noise field. The computational domain includes the geometry of the jet nozzle, simulated on curvilinear grids, which are embedded in a cartesian grid. On all grids the Navier-Stokes equations are solved based on high order compact finite difference schemes. We will present simulation results for anoverexpanded jet at low Reynolds numbers
