Summary of "Acoustics of Supersonic Jets: Launch Vehicle and Military Jet Acoustics"

This paper summarizes a two-part session, “Acoustics of Supersonic Jets: Launch Vehicle and Military Jet Acoustics,” that took place during the 5th Joint Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America and the Acoustical Society of Japan. The sessions were cosponsored by the Physical Acoustics and Noise Technical Committees and consisted of talks by government and academic researchers from institutions in the United States, Japan, France, and India. The sessions described analytical, computational, and experimental approaches to both fundamental and applied problems on model and full-scale jets and rocket plumes.
