The PFC can reduce the high-amplitude low-frequency pressure fluctuations in the wind tunnel circuit. In addition, the PFC can also reduce non-periodic fluctuations in wind speeds, i.e., not just fluctuations associated with resonances arising from the coupling of open jet pressure instabilities with circuit modes. The PFC achieved these results without significantly altering the axial static pressure gradient in the wind tunnel.</p> ER -
