Abstract

Highly non-uniform flows such as shear layers are an intrinsic feature of turbofan exhaust noise problems. Modeling the sound radiation from turbofan exhausts with the linearized Euler equations raises the issue of accurately representing strongly spatially-varying mean flows numerically, while ensuring that numerical solutions are not polluted by spurious solutions such as aliasing errors. This paper investigates the behavior of aliasing instabilities in time domain solutions obtained by the discontinuous Galerkin method. A model exhaust noise problem is studied to demonstrate the growth of unphysical temporal instabilities. A new fully-discrete dispersion analysis technique is developed that permits non-uniform mean flows. The dispersion analysis is used to study the spectral behavior of aliasing instabilities and the impact of polynomial order on their formation and growth. The results of this study indicate that aliasing errors are largely absolute instabilities which build up in the solution over time and are highly sensitive to the polynomial order.
