Suppression Of Cavity Flow Oscillations Via Three-Dimensional Steady Blowing
AIAA JOURNAL(2019)
Abstract
This paper presents an investigation of the flow physics and control of cavity flow oscillations using a three-dimensional (3-D) array of steady jets located near the cavity leading edge. The array injects 3-D, steady flow normal to the freestream to suppress the fluctuating surface pressure in a rectangular cavity with a length-to-depth ratio L/D of 6 for Mach 0.3 to 0.7. Sixteen configurations are assessed for their suppression as a function of the aggregate momentum coefficient C-mu, spatial duty cycle d, and dimensionless wavelength lambda/D. Significant reductions of fluctuating surface pressure are observed. Schlieren and particle image velocimetry are performed to investigate the baseline and controlled flows. Companion large-eddy simulations with spanwise periodic boundary conditions at Mach 0.6 generally agree with the experiments, despite a significant difference in the Reynolds numbers. The simulations show that control reduces the pressure fluctuations inside the entire cavity, albeit at a higher level of C-mu. Spanwise wavelike structures produced by the control input distort the shear layer, inhibit the growth of large-scale vortical structures, and reduce the strength and length scale of turbulent fluctuations near the impingement region. A slot-configuration design guide is provided, which compares favorably with the limited available data in the literature.
