28th AIAA/CEAS Aeroacoustics Conference, 2022, Southampton, England, 14 - 17 June 2022

The forcing terms, which correspond to the source terms in the classical terminology of acoustic analogies, are defined within the resolvent framework. We extract from a jet database at Mach number, M= 0.4, which contains both state and forcing data, a low-rank representation of the acoustic field and a low-rank forcing that is correlated with it. We show that the forcing components that generate 99% of the acoustic energy in the downstream region correspond to less than 1% of the total forcing energy.
