As subsonic jets remain one of the major contributions to aircraft noise emissions, near-field flow simulations should be included in aircraft design at an early stage using quantitatively predicted sound pressure levels and the time-domain signal properties of the noise data. In this regard, the interface from the near-field data to the far-field radiation—under consideration of acoustic reflections from objects such as fuselage and wings—remains as bottleneck. This study presents the computation of a spherical equivalent source model of jet noise with minimal complexity by means of spherical harmonic (SH) coefficients. Using spherical Hankel extrapolation of sound pressure data from virtual, concentrical microphone arrays, the results of the determination for the radius, in which all acoustic sources of a flow field are confined, indicate the source radius around the end of the potential core to be equivalent to five times the nozzle diameter. The result of the SH transform shows the dominant energy contribution to be related to nine elementary sources. The resulting equivalent source model of jet noise provides a convenient format for further use in large-scale computational fluid dynamics simulations.
