A detailed description of the bow-shock behavior associated with a conical-walled cavity with a flat circular base at M(infinity) = 10 is presented. An experimental test was performed on this configuration, and measurements of shock-oscillation frequency and amplitude, as well as shock shape, were recorded by a number of techniques. A laser-interferometer system was used for the first time during this test to determine bow-shock oscillation frequency in a nonintrusive manner. The primary behavior was a stable, periodically oscillating bow shock. Attention is also given to a violent bow-shock instability.
