Chevrons on a nozzle trailing edge reduce noise by

  • A.Choking the nozzle earlier
  • B.Promoting gentler mixing
  • C.Reducing the exhaust temperature
  • D.Increasing the exit area

Answer: B

The serrations generate streamwise vortices that break up the strong shear layer where most noise is produced. The penalty is a small thrust loss, which is accepted because noise limits often bind more tightly than performance does.
