On linear instability mechanisms in incompressible open cavity flow

Abstract: A theoretical study of linear global instability of incompressible flow over a rectangular spanwise-periodic open cavity in an unconfined domain is presented.Comparisons with the limited number of results available in the literature are shown. Subsequently, the parameter space is scanned in a systematic manner, varying Reynolds number, incoming boundary-layer thickness and length-to-depth aspect ratio. This permits documenting the neutral curves and leading eigenmode characteristics of this flow. Correlations … Show more

“…Numerous studies have investigated the effect of cavity geometry, compressibility, and incoming boundary layer thickness on the three-dimensional instability in the flow over an open cavity [3][4][5]. The global instability arises from a centrifugal instability mechanism [3] involving the recirculating flow inside the cavity [6].…”

“…value which is circled in Figure 5.14. In this case, this is not the most unstable eigenvalue but it is known from [68,82,13], that as the Reynolds number increases the growth rate, σ r , for this eigenvalue will eventually become positive. We achieve a frequency of f σ = 0.236 while Table 5 This is the region just before the boundary layer detaches, so it is intuitive that this would be the wavemaker.…”
