| Summary: | Cavity flow is a phenomenon when a fluid encounters a cavity while travelling
across aerodynamic surfaces. The result is an acoustic environment in the cavity which
causes pressure oscillations and velocity variations. These phenomenon are frequently
experienced in many present day applications such as sunroofs of cars, bomb and
landing gears storage hatches of aircrafts. The effects of this phenomenon have
important engineering implications and are of great practical interest to researchers, on both the acoustic feedback mechanism and the corresponding solutions to these problems on the industries.
Investigation of the effects of cavity flow begins with the more fundamental
two-dimensional flow. The methods used to analyze these effects include hot-wire
anemometry, cavity floor pressure measurements and Particle Image Velocimetry
measurements. The effects of varying aspect ratio (length to depth) on velocity and
pressure distributions are being investigated. |
