Abstract

An experiment was conducted in a high speed wind tunnel to study the effects of dynamic pressure waves in a cavity from subsonic speeds to supersonic speeds. The effects on dynamic pressure of various parameters such as the Mach number, cavity length to depth ratio and the number of generic store were demonstrated. Detailed static-pressure and fluctuating pressure were measured on the cavity floor to determine the variation of the steady and unsteady pressures. Results show that cavity flow aero-acoustic characteristics are closely related to the Mach number and the cavity length to depth ratio. It is also found that installing store/stores in cavity can effectively improve the aero-acoustic environment in the cavity.
