In this study, a single-channel supersonic cascade model is investigated experimentally at a freestream Mach number of 2.4 to obtain a better understanding of the flow field evolution during the throttling process. A flap is placed at the channel exit to choke the flow linearly. Measurements include 1-kHz schlieren imaging and 10-kHz simultaneous fast-response wall pressure. Three stages, namely attached flow, separated flow, and oscillatory flow, are identified in the throttling process. The joint time–frequency analysis and wall pressure spectrum contour exhibit the time evolution and spatial distribution of the pressure fluctuation. With the increase in backpressure, the pressure fluctuation in the low-frequency shock oscillation range of 40–400 Hz on the suction surface located in the separated flow gradually enhances. The power spectral, coherence, and phase analyses of the schlieren images describe the dominant oscillation structure and its relationship with other regions. During the separated flow, the pressure change in the subsonic separated region first lead to a change in the state of the separated shear layer, after which the shock waves in the shock train, move. The oscillatory flow is a process wherein the upstream shock wave oscillates, causing the entire downstream channel to fluctuate.
