Flow Field Investigations of a Simulated Weapons Cavity at Mach 3.

Abstract

Flow field investigations of a simulated weapons cavity were performed at Mach 3 in the von Karman Facility Supersonic Tunnel A. Surface pressure measurements, cavity acoustic environment, and flow field pressure and temperature data were obtained on various cavity configurations. Included were studies of suppression fence height and simplified store sizes in an open-sided cavity with length-to-depth ratio of 2.25. (Author)
