The Rossiter equation: Improving the fractional vortex speed and defining an effective length to depth ratio for cavity flows
Abstract
This paper first reviews well known analytical techniques for predicting the Rossiter modes of a cavity in compressible flow. We combine existing methods to improve the performance in compressible flow. Second, we introduce a method based on an effective length to depth ratio of the cavity from experimental results for predicting frequencies across Mach numbers. Finally, the fractional vortex speed used in the Rossiter equation and its derivatives is calculated from high subsonic (M 0.55) to supersonic (M 2.3) for use in future cavity mode prediction.
