Context and objectivesDuring lift-off, the hot, supersonic jets exhausting from the
rocket engines of space launchers produce acoustic pressure
fluctuations which are high enough (up to 180 dB) to damage
the launch pad and the payload. Predicting the corresponding
pressure levels requires taking into account interactions effects
between the different jets, including acoustic shielding, inter-
action noise and twin jet resonance [1, 2]. The present post-
doctoral work aims at characterizing these effects in a simpli-
fied twin, free jet configuration using high-fidelity numerical
simulations.

Jet parameters
They are close to those of the MARTEL experiment [3]:
–Mach number Mj = uj/cj = 3, overexpanded conditions
–Total temperature T0 = 2000K
–Twin jet separation h = 2.8D, with D the jet diameter
–Reynolds number ReD = ρjujD/µj =200 000
Numerical methods
The large-eddy simulations (LES) are carried out by solving
the compressible Navier-Stokes equations using high-order fi-
nite differences with low dispersion and low dissipation [4].
Three cylindrical meshes are used:
– two narrow cylindrical grids, one for each jet
–one large cylindrical grid overlaying the others
The flow variables are passed from one grid to an other using
Lagrangian interpolation of order N = 10, e.g.
ρ(r, θ) =N∑

Conclusion and perspectives
–A CFD code able to accurately simulate the flow and sound
fields of supersonic twin jets has been developed.
–Future work will focus on the characterization of interaction
effects, and notably on the influence of the nozzle spacing h.
