Abstract

Laminar and turbulent computations are presented for annular rectangular-section cavities, on a body of revolution, in a Mach 2.2 flow. Unsteady ‘open cavity flows’ result for all laminar computations for all cavity length-to-depth ratios, L/D (1.33, 10.33, 11.33 and 12.33). The turbulent computations produce ‘closed cavity flows’ for L/D of 11.33 and 12.33. Surface pressure fluctuations at the front corner of the L/D = 1.33 cavity are periodic in some cases depending on the cavity length and depth, the boundary layer at the cavity front lip and the cavity scale. The turbulent computations are supported by experimental schlieren images, obtained using a spark light source, and time-averaged surface pressure data.
