| Abstract: | The characteristics of the flow and heat transfer in two- and three-dimensional open cavities on plane and cylindrical surfaces in a supersonic stream in the presence of a turbulent boundary layer have been investigated experimentally. The effects of the Mach number, boundary layer thickness, the shape of the cavity, and its angle of inclination to the free-stream direction on the flow parameters in the mixing layer above the cavity and the heat flux and pressure distribution on the surface of the cavity and its bottom are descirbed.
