Fluid Dynamics of Unsteady Cavity Flow.

Abstract

Unsteady, hypersonic flow over the nose of a blunt body with a forward-facing cavity is studied. A parameter study is conducted using a commercial finite-volume computer code to study the mechanisms of resonance. Numerical simulation results are often directly compared to recent experiments. Resonant pressure oscillations within the cavity occur for relatively shallow cavities provided freestream noise is present. However, deeper cavities self-sustain strong resonance. A spring-mass-damper model is described which emulates noise-driven, relatively shallow cavity acoustic behavior.
