Heat transfer and dynamics of supersonic air flow past cavities
Abstract
The results of an experimental study of flow and heat transfer coefficients in supersonic turbulent air flow over two-dimensional cavities are presented. The effect of the relative cavity depth, the Reynolds and Mach numbers on the flow modes and the heat transfer coefficient is analyzed. The experimental heat transfer coefficients are correlated in the form of similitude equations. The resulting equations describe heat transfer coefficients for the main, as well as for the secondary vortex flows.
