“…Incompressible open cavity flows still remain an active field of research including Rowley, Colonius & Basuz (2002), Lusseyran, Pastur & Letellier (2008), Basley et al (2011), to cite only a few of them, as the feedback mechanism through far-field acoustic waves travelling upstream loses importance due to other pure hydrodynamics mechanisms. A recent linear instability analysis by Tuerke et al (2015), considering reflection of hydrodynamic waves at the wall of the cavity, was able to describe the origin of the non-harmonic quantization of frequencies reported in different experiments. This analysis, however, is unable to distinguish, among the set of possible frequencies, which ones are selected by the flow.…”
