Abstract

This study experimentally investigated transonic cavity flows with different length-to-depth (L/h) ratios and yaw angles. Two rectangular models with L/h = 6.14 and 21.5 were examined with yaw angles of 10°, 30°, and 45° under a flow of Mach 0.83. The flow was visualized using pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) to obtain the detailed pressure distribution inside the cavity models. The acquired PSP data were compared with experimental data measured using Kulite transducers, and these data showed favorable agreement. Gradual pressure increases inside the cavity model with L/h = 6.14 were observed from the PSP measurements as open cavity flow. The flow impingement at the bottom of the cavity and the significant pressure rise inside the cavity model with L/h = 21.5 were observed as closed cavity flow. The present study quantitatively visualized the evolution of the pressure distribution from symmetric to asymmetric for different yaw angles using porous PSP sensors.
