Sound from high-performance military aircraft originates primarily from the turbulent mixing noise, but at smaller inlet angles, broadband shock-associated noise (BBSAN) is present. The similarity spectra of the two components of turbulent mixing noise developed by Tam et al. [AIAA Paper 96–1716 (1996)] represent noise associated with fine and large-scale turbulent structures and provide reasonable fits for ideally expanded, supersonic jet noise. For non-ideally expanded jet flow, BBSAN contributions to the spectral shape need to be included in spectral decompositions in the sideline and forward directions. A model proposed by Tam et al. [J. Sound Vib. 140, 55–71 (1990)] and later simplified by Kuo et al. [AIAA Paper 2011–1032 (2011)] provides a spectral function that models the BBSAN spectral shape. The ability of the BBSAN and similarity spectra shapes to account for the measured spectra is evaluated for ground-based microphones that covered a spatial aperture from 35 to 152 degrees.
