Abstract

The Hartmann air jet generator (Hartmann 1939) is sound wave generator in which the sound is generated by oscillations of a shock developed in an over-expanded air jet by means of a blunt body: a resonator. A theory for the instability mechanism is advanced, and it is found that the result calculated from the theory are in good agreement with the experimental observations.
