Abstract

Effects of wall mounted cavity on a Mach 1.7 freestream flow over it are investigated experimentally and numerically. Three different three dimensional (3D) cavity configurations have been used in the study. The results are compared with those of a two dimensional (2D) cavity. Flow field over the cavity is observed to depend intensely on the cavity width and on the allied aerodynamic flow structure in the vicinity of the cavity. Pressure oscillations generated by presence of wall mounted cavity in supersonic freestream was also observed to affect the fluid motion over cavities.
