A model is proposed for the change in turbulent structure of a round jet in the presence of an acoustic excitation. The excitation is assumed to trigger instability waves of a known initial amplitude at the jet exit. As these waves propagate downstream they extract energy from the mean flow and transfer it to the random turbulence. This results in an increase in the levels of the turbulence and a resulting increase in the radiated broadband noise. No calculations are presented for the noise radiation, however, an examination is made of the effect of excitation level and frequency on the jet flow. The numerical procedure allows for radial as well as axial variations in the averaged properties of jet to be calculated. The results indicate that the presence of a finite amplitude instability wave increases the spreading of the jet. It does not vary the characteristic radial shapes of both the axial mean velocity and the turbulent kinetic energy. An energy budget for the random turbulence shows that it is fed energy from the excited wave predominantly on each side of the jet lip line. This results in a broader radial shape for the turbulent kinetic energy. (Krautzig)
