Properties of subsonic open cavity flow fields

Flow over an open cavity was studied for several different subsonic free stream Mach numbers ranging from 0.19 to nearly 0.73. Velocity field information was acquired through an application of particle image velocimetry, while the fluctuating surface pressure was acquired through a linear array of surface pressure sensors. These data were acquired on the centerline of the cavity which had a length to depth ratio of 6 and a turbulent boundary layer upstream of its leading edge. Over the range of free stream Mach numbers the fluctuating surface pressure spectra in the cavity exhibited different behavior ranging from no apparent resonance to resonance being dominated by the second or third Rossiter modes. The broadband levels of surface pressure spectra with strong resonant tones collapse with scaling by the flow dynamic pressure. Velocity measurements reveal that the center of circulation of the flow within the cavity moves from the aft wall towards the center of the cavity with increasing Mach number. The ...
