The presence of shear layers in open jet wind tunnels complicates aeroacoustic measurements. Tones from wind tunnel models are subject to spectral broadening (or ‘haystacking’) when propagating through the turbulent shear layer flow. For example, in measurements on contra-rotating propellers this obscures the identification and quantification of rotor tones. This paper describes a theoretical and experimental study into spectral broadening by the shear layers of open jet wind tunnels. A simple physical model is derived which predicts the amount of broadening as a function of a single parameter, which is proportional to wind speed, source frequency and shear layer thickness. The theory is compared against experimental data from five different wind tunnels. Especially for the smaller wind tunnels the agreement between theory and experiment is generally good, which makes it possible to retrieve the original level of a tone from a broadened spectrum.
