This study determines the mean and fluctuating pressures for flow through a rectangular shallow cavity (ratio between the length and the depth = 2.43, 4.43, and 6.14; ratio between the length and the width = 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0) at a Mach number of 0.64 in a blowdown transonic wind tunnel. A amplitude modulation analysis is used for the post-processing of the fluctuating pressure signals. The spectral analysis (wavelet) shows the intermittent behavior of the discrete Rossiter–Heller modes. A correlation analysis determines that mode switching is more significant between the second and third modes (organized structures that are associated with shear layer vortices), particularly for two-dimensional and shallower cavities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
