In this research, the effect of finite width cavities in supersonic flow field is experimentally investigated. The test facility consists of a supersonic nozzle, which provides flow Mach number of 1.9. A circular cross-sectional test section is fastened at the exit of the nozzle. Cavities are incorporated in the test section at a distance of 20 mm from the inlet. Cavities of constant length and width, and varying depth are used for the study. Entrainment of flow in the main stream is observed immediate downstream of the cavity aft edge due to three dimensional effect. As the depth of the cavity is increased, residence time of the fluid as well as the mixing characteristics are enhanced and stagnation pressure loss also increased. Twin cavities are also arranged symmetrically, which further leads to an improvement in mixing with marginal rise in stagnation pressure loss.
