The effect of the change in the cavity width on the flow structure is investigated by using the constant length to depth (L/D) ratio cavity models with varying length to width (L/W) ratio of 0.83 to 4. The time-averaged shock wave structure was observed to change with a change in the cavity width. The dependence of the shock angle at the leading edge on the shear layer width is also evident from the images obtained. Unsteadiness in the flow field in terms of the shear layer dynamics and quasi-steady nature of shock waves was evident from the images obtained during instantaneous shadowgraph experiments. Apart from the leading and trailing edge shocks, several other waves and flow features were observed. These flow features and the associated physical phenomena are discussed in detail and presented in the paper.
