The effective means of air fuel mixing and flame holding can be achieved by incorporating cavity in supersonic combustor. Understanding the complex flow field of cavity flow is essential for the design of supersonic combustor. An attempt is made to understand the characteristics of supersonic flow past axisymmetric cavity, and a series of nonreacting experiments are carried out in a blow-down type supersonic flow facility. The facility consists of a supersonic nozzle, issues a flow Mach number of 1.80 into a circular cross sectional supersonic combustor in which axisymmetric cavity is placed. Cavity of two consecutive aft wall angles is the key parameter for the study. The performance of the cavity is investigated based on the static pressure measurement, momentum flux distribution at the exit plane of the combustor, and the stagnation pressure loss of the flow. Wall static pressure distribution revealed that pressure increases with decrease in the secondary aft wall angle below 45° due to stronger recompression of shear layers. Moreover, decreasing primary aft wall angle provides a uniform mixing profile along with decrease in stagnation pressure loss across the combustor.
