Abstract:The Rossiter modes of an open cavity were studied using bi-global linear analysis and nonlinear numerical simulations. In the study, the length over depth ratio was two and the Reynolds numbers based on cavity depth were close to 1000. The effect of Mach on such cavities was studied. The bi-global analysis revealed that, in the Mach range 0.1 to 0.9, for thick boundary layers, only R1 and R2 modes could become unstable, whereas for thin boundary layer up to R4 could be unstable. Compressibility had a very dest… Show more
