The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

Using large-eddy simulations of a Mach 1.5 twin-rectangular jet, the paper establishes that the symmetry of screech tones is set by the symmetry of the waves that close the screech feedback loop. In the natural jet, the two screech tones both flap antisymmetrically about the major axis: one steady (AS) and one intermittent (AA). When the jet is forced symmetrically at the screech frequency by modelled plasma actuators, the AA screech disappears entirely and tones appear only in the SS and AS components. Applying bispectral mode decomposition, the authors trace the harmonic tones to a network of triadic interactions and find that upstream-propagating guided-jet modes responsible for screech closure are antisymmetric about the major axis only, while downstream core modes can be symmetric or antisymmetric. This symmetry selection is the reason twin-rectangular jets show antisymmetric but not symmetric screech modes, and it is what makes symmetry-based forcing a viable control lever.

What carries the argument

The load-bearing objects are the four D2 reflectional-symmetry components (SS, SA, AS, AA) of the flow, obtained by quadrant-weighted sums of the pressure field, and the spectral decompositions applied within each component: spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) for energetics and intermittency, and a normalized bispectral mode decomposition (BMD) whose mode bispectrum is bounded by unity and which recovers the leading SPOD eigenvalues and modes along the f_l=0 or f_k=0 axes when the mean is retained. BMD detects quadratic phase coupling between triadically compatible frequency and symmetry components; its modes educe the coherent structures, including Kelvin-Helmholtz wavepackets, trapped core modes, and guided-jet modes. The specific mechanism that carries the argument is the guided-jet mode: a subsonic instability wave with partial support in the slow ambient flow, which can therefore propagate upstream against the supersonic jet; the paper finds these upstream-propagating G-JM are antisymmetric about the major axis only.

What would settle it

Compute the phase speed or dispersion relation of the upstream-travelling wavepacket in the antisymmetric bispectral mode from the LES snapshots, or run a linear stability analysis of the twin-rectangular mean flow: if the waves prove to be acoustic rather than subsonic guided-jet modes, or if an upstream-propagating symmetric guided-jet mode exists, the symmetry-based explanation of antisymmetric-only screech loses its mechanism.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The central discovery is a symmetry selection rule for screech: the feedback loop of twin-rectangular jet screech is closed exclusively by upstream-propagating guided-jet modes that are antisymmetric about the major axis, whereas downstream-propagating core modes may be symmetric or antisymmetric. Consequently, screech modes themselves must be antisymmetric about the major axis, and the twin jet exhibits AS and AA screech but no symmetric screech. Symmetric (SS) plasma forcing at the screech frequency destroys the AA feedback path, eliminating that tone; the surviving tones are confined to the SS and AS components. The rule is presented as the translation of the azimuthal-symmetry dependence of guided-jet modes in round jets into the D2 dihedral symmetry of the twin-rectangular jet, and is supported by bispectral modes whose AS structures show standing-wave envelopes from counter-propagating Kelvin-Helmholtz and guided-jet waves, while SS structures show only trapped core modes.

Load-bearing premise

The identification of the upstream-travelling waves in the AS bispectral modes as guided-jet modes rests on visual inspection of standing-wave envelopes and spatial support, and the paper itself notes they could be freestream acoustic waves; no dispersion relation or linear-stability check is performed.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • Symmetric plasma forcing at the screech frequency is a demonstrated control strategy: it completely removes the AA screech component while leaving the SA component untouched.
  • Screech tones in twin-rectangular jets can only be antisymmetric about the major axis; any future detection of a symmetric screech tone would contradict the proposed mechanism.
  • Because only the (SS,SS,SS), (AS,AS,SS), and (SS,AS,AS) symmetry triads are active, nonlinear energy transfer at the forcing frequency is confined to the SS and AS components; SA and AA do not participate.
  • The BMD extension provides a single plot combining energetics (SPOD) and triadic phase coupling, applicable to pressure, density, and temperature data when the mean is nearly uniform.
  • The harmonic cascade in the forced jet is not an isolated chain but an interconnected triad network that also forms wavenumber triads, evidenced by doubling of the streamwise wavenumber between harmonics.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • If the symmetry selection is generic, forcing in any inactive symmetry component (SA or AS) should selectively suppress screech in the complementary component; the authors note such tests are outside their scope.
  • The visual identification of G-JM could be replaced by a quantitative test: computing the phase speed or dispersion relation of the upstream wavepacket from the LES database would settle whether the waves are guided-jet modes or freestream acoustic waves, as the paper itself flags.
  • The symmetry rule likely extends to other discrete-symmetry jet geometries, such as twin-round or single-rectangular jets, where the feedback-wave symmetry rather than the shear-layer instability symmetry dictates which screech modes can exist.
  • The BMD-SPOD recovery along the zero-frequency axis gives a practical diagnostic for experiments that only record pressure or schlieren: bicoherence maps can double as spectra once the mean-removal caveats are handled.

Referee Report

4 major / 6 minor

Summary. This paper studies the stationary, intermittent, and nonlinear dynamics of natural and forced supersonic twin-rectangular jets using large-eddy simulation data and spectral modal analysis. The flow is decomposed into four D2 reflectional symmetry components (SS, SA, AS, AA). In the natural jet, SPOD identifies two screech tones antisymmetric about the major axis: a steady AS tone and an intermittent AA tone. The authors then test the hypothesis that symmetric plasma forcing can disrupt these antisymmetric instabilities; the forcing removes the AA and AS tones and creates harmonic tones in SS and AS. The nonlinear dynamics are analyzed with an extended bispectral mode decomposition (BMD) that uses a normalized, unity-bounded bicoherence, includes mean-flow effects to recover SPOD along the zero-frequency axis, and enforces D2 symmetry triads. Three active symmetry triads are identified and assembled into an interconnected triad network. The central physical conclusion is that upstream-propagating guided-jet modes (G-JM) responsible for screech closure are antisymmetric about the major axis only, whereas downstream core modes can be symmetric or antisymmetric; the authors argue this symmetry dependence explains why the twin-rectangular jet exhibits antisymmetric but not symmetric screech modes.

Significance. If the central claim is correct, the paper provides a plausible symmetry-based mechanism for the selection of antisymmetric screech modes in twin-rectangular jets and demonstrates a control strategy that leverages D2 symmetry. The paper has clear methodological strengths: the D2 symmetry decomposition is exact and well explained; the proposed BMD normalization is proven to bound the mode bispectrum by unity; the mean-included recovery of SPOD along the zero-frequency axis is a useful and non-circular result; and the triad network framework is a natural extension of BMD to discrete spatial symmetries. The authors also make their Matlab BMD implementation publicly available. However, the decisive evidence for the G-JM symmetry claim is indirect, resting on visual identification of standing-wave envelopes in AS bispectral modes, and no dispersion or stability calculation is provided to distinguish G-JM from freestream acoustic waves. The bicoherence peaks are reported without uncertainty quantification, and the plasma forcing model is not validated against any forced experiment. These gaps prevent the paper from fully supporting its headline conclusion in its present form.

major comments (4)
  1. [§5.5, Figs. 13 and 15] The central conclusion that upstream-propagating guided-jet modes are antisymmetric about the major axis only is inferred from standing-wave envelopes in AS bispectral modes, but the text explicitly leaves open the alternative interpretation that these upstream waves are freestream acoustic waves. No dispersion relation, phase-speed estimate, or linear stability calculation for the present LES mean flow is provided. Because the mechanism offered for antisymmetric-only screech depends on the existence and symmetry of these upstream modes, this identification must be strengthened before the headline claim can be accepted.
  2. [§5.5, Figs. 13 and 15] The absence of standing waves in SS and SA bispectral modes is used to conclude that symmetric G-JM do not exist. BMD modes are phase-locked, triad-specific structures and are not eigenmodes of the linearized problem; a null result in these modes does not establish the absence of a symmetric upstream-guided mode in the linear spectrum. The authors should either compute the linear modal spectrum of the mean flow, or provide an explicit symmetry argument for why symmetric G-JM cannot propagate upstream in this geometry.
  3. [§5.3, Table 3, Fig. 9] The bicoherence magnitudes |β|=0.61, 0.37, and 0.29 are reported without uncertainty quantification. With only n_blk=18 blocks, sampling variability of bicoherence is substantial, and no statistical test against the null hypothesis of independent Fourier modes is given. The triad network in Figs. 10, 12, and 14 would be significantly more convincing with bootstrap confidence intervals or a significance threshold.
  4. [§2.2, Table 2] The plasma actuation model parameters are adapted from voltage and current measurements, but the forced-jet results are not validated against any forced experiment. Since the control claim and the subsequent nonlinear analysis of the forced jet depend on the realism of this model, the authors should either provide a validation case against forced experiments or explicitly state the limitations of the model for quantitative predictions.
minor comments (6)
  1. [Table 1] The Reynolds number is printed as '1 .07× 106'; this should be '1.07×10^6' with consistent spacing and formatting.
  2. [§5.1.1, Eq. (5.5)] The data matrices in Eq. (5.5) appear to be duplicated in the typeset equation; please check and correct the display.
  3. [References] Several reference names are missing spaces, e.g., 'Edgington-Mitchellet al. 2022' and 'Rodr´ıguez' with improper accent encoding; please proofread the bibliography for formatting errors.
  4. [Supplementary data] The supplementary data URL is given as a placeholder ('https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2019...'); please update it to the actual DOI.
  5. [§3] The D2 decomposition is defined for the pressure field only; for the velocity components the decomposition is nontrivial and is deferred to Appendix D. Please add a sentence in §3 directing the reader to this treatment.
  6. [Appendix B, Fig. 17] The statement that mean-included BMD 'recovers' the SPOD is exact only for the pressure norm (and for the unity-replacement procedure); Fig. 17(b,c) shows that for the compressible-energy and schlieren norms the quantitative match is only approximate. Please qualify the wording accordingly.

Circularity Check

BMD-SPOD recovery is a disclosed algebraic identity; the physical symmetry conclusions are empirically grounded and not circular.

  1. self definitional [Section 5.1.2 (Eqs. 5.12-5.13) and Appendix B (Fig. 18)]
    "For arbitrary data, SPOD can always be perfectly recovered from BMD by replacing the zero-frequency Fourier realisations with unity. The BMD bispectrum now matches its corresponding SPOD spectrum for all three choices of norm."

    With the zero-frequency Fourier realisations set to unity, qhat_{k◦0}=qhat_k, so the bispectral density matrix B_{k,0}=Qhat*_k Qhat_k is exactly the method-of-snapshots SPOD matrix of Eq. (4.3). Hence the 'recovery' of SPOD from BMD is an algebraic identity enforced by construction, not an independent derivation. The paper explicitly discloses this and uses it only as a methodological convenience; it does not feed the physical conclusions about screech symmetry.

full rationale

The paper's physical derivation chain is self-contained. The D2 symmetry decomposition is an exact reconstruction with no loss of generality; SPOD and BMD are data-driven decompositions applied to the same LES data; the triad network is inferred from computed bicoherence and mode bispectra; and the antisymmetric-only guided-jet-mode claim is an empirical modal identification supported by visual standing-wave signatures and external linear-stability literature (Tam & Hu 1989; Stavropoulos et al. 2023), not by a fitted parameter or a self-citation chain. The only by-construction element is the BMD-SPOD recovery, which is explicitly presented as an identity (Eq. 5.12) and does not bear on the central symmetry-selection argument. Accordingly, the paper exhibits no significant circularity.

Assumptions & free parameters 3 free parameters · 5 assumptions · 0 invented entities

The central claims rest on five domain assumptions: LES fidelity, approximate stationarity and symmetry, near-uniform mean pressure for the BMD-SPOD identity, applicability of prior guided-jet mode theory to this geometry, and statistical significance of the BMD peaks. The plasma actuator model contributes three sets of hand-chosen parameters adapted from experiments and prior modeling; these are inputs, not fitted to the outcome. No new physical entities are introduced.

free parameters (3)
  • Plasma actuator power amplitude P = P/(rho_inf c_inf^3 h^2) = 17.44
    Taken from Samimy et al. (2023) voltage and current measurements rather than fitted to the target screech suppression, but it sets the forcing amplitude that drives all forced-jet conclusions.
  • Plasma actuator timing (t_on, t_off, t_r) = t_on=0, t_off=0.0015, t_r=2e-5 (c_inf/h)
    Adapted from the measured actuation cycle of Samimy et al. (2023); these times control the spectral content, including harmonics of the forcing frequency.
  • Plasma actuator geometry (r0, L, sigma) = r0/h=0.02, L/h=0.29, sigma=5
    r0 is half the cavity depth, L is the inter-electrode distance, and sigma is taken from Kim et al. (2009); they define the volumetric heating region that generates the forcing.
assumptions (5)
  • domain assumption The LES accurately represents the screech dynamics of the naturally and forced twin-rectangular jet.
    Validation is cited to Bres et al. (2021, 2022) rather than shown; the 77M-cell unstructured grid and wall model are assumed adequate for the instability waves studied. Section 2.1.
  • domain assumption The flow is statistically stationary and D2-symmetric over the analysis window.
    Welch/BMD averaging and the D2 decomposition in Eq. (3.2) assume this; Section 4.2 shows the AA screech is intermittent, so stationarity is only approximate.
  • domain assumption The mean pressure is sufficiently uniform that retaining the mean in BMD recovers SPOD along f_l = 0.
    Required by Eq. (5.12); the authors report mean pressure deviations of at most 4-5% near the nozzle and verify numerically in appendix B. The identity fails for velocity and schlieren observables.
  • domain assumption Guided-jet mode theory of Tam & Hu (1989) and the screech closure picture of Edgington-Mitchell et al. (2022) apply to twin-rectangular jets.
    Used to interpret the upstream-propagating antisymmetric shear-layer waves as G-JM; no stability calculation for this specific geometry is performed here. Section 5.5.
  • domain assumption BMD local maxima computed from 18 independent blocks represent genuine quadratic phase coupling.
    No significance threshold, bootstrap, or error bars are provided for bicoherence values; finite-sample estimates can show spurious coupling. Sections 5.1-5.3 and Table 3.

We study the stationary, intermittent, and nonlinear dynamics of natural and forced supersonic twin-rectangular turbulent jets using spectral modal decomposition. We decompose large-eddy simulation data into four reflectional symmetry components about the major and minor axes. In the natural jet, spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) uncovers two resonant instabilities antisymmetric about the major axis. Known as screech tones, the more energetic of the two is symmetric about the minor axis and steady, while the other is intermittent. We test the hypothesis that flow symmetry can be leveraged for control design. Time-periodic forcing symmetric about the major and minor axes is implemented using a plasma actuation model, and succeeds in removing screech from a different symmetry component. We investigate the spectral peaks of the forced jet using an extension of bispectral mode decomposition (BMD), where the bispectrum is bounded by unity and which conditionally recovers the SPOD. We explain the appearance of harmonic peaks as three sets of triadic interactions between reflectional symmetries, forming an interconnected triad network. BMD modes of active triads distil coherent structures comprising multiple coupled instabilities, including Kelvin-Helmholtz, core, and guided-jet modes (G-JM). Downstream-propagating core modes can be symmetric or antisymmetric about the major axis, whereas upstream-propagating G-JM responsible for screech closure (Edgington-Mitchell et al., 2022, JFM) are antisymmetric only. The dependence of G-JM on symmetry hence translates from the azimuthal symmetry of the round jet to the dihedral group symmetry of the twin-rectangular jet, and explains why the twin jet exhibits antisymmetric but not symmetric screech modes.
