An experimental investigation was conducted to expand the data base and knowledge of flow fields in cavities over the subsonic and transonic speed regimes. A rectangular, 3-D cavity was tested over a Mach number range from 0.30 to 0.95 and at Reynolds numbers per foot from 1 x 10 to the 6th power to 4.2 x 10 to the 6th power. Two sizes of cavities were tested with length-to-height ratios (l/h) of 4.4 and 11.7 and with rectangular and nonrectangular cross-sections. Extensive static pressure data on the model walls were obtained and a complete tabulation of the data are presented. The boundary layer approaching the cavity was turbulent and the thickness was measured with a total pressure rake. The static pressure measurements obtained with the deep cavity configuration (l/h = 4.4) at Reynolds numbers greater than 3.0 x 10 to the 6th power per foot showed large fluctuations during the data sampling time. For the deep cavity, at lower Reynolds numbers, and for all conditions tested with the shallow cavity, the data showed much less unsteadiness. Though mean static pressure distributions have been used in past cavity analysis at transonic free stream conditions, the data presented here indicates that it is necessary to consider the instantaneous pressure distributions. The data also indicated that the shallow cavity static pressure measurements were sensitive to the thickness of the boundary layer entering the cavity.
