Comparing a New Passive Lining Method for Jet Noise Reduction Using 3M™ Nextel™ Ceramic Fabrics Against Ejector Nozzles by Alina Bogoi, Grigore Cican, Laurențiu Cristea, Daniel-Eugeniu Crunțeanu, Constantin Levențiu, Andrei-George Totu

“…The results show that while the ejector provides superior directional suppression and low-frequency redistribution, making it ideal for far-field noise control, it maintains high total energy levels and requires structural modifications. In contrast, the Nextel lining achieves comparable reductions in overall noise, especially in high-frequency ranges, while minimizing structural impact and promoting spatial energy dissipation. …”
