Cavity temporal evolution in the median plane (the contours are given at four times: t = 1/4tp, 1/2tp, 3/4 tp and tp; Y = 0.15 m. (a) Case A1 (θ0 = 90°, Vin = 1.5 m/s). (b) Case A2 (θ0 = 90°, Vin = 2.0 m/s). (c) Case A3 (θ0 = 90°, Vin = 2.5 m/s). (d) Case B1 (θ0 = 60°, Vin = 1.5 m/s). (e) Case B2 (θ0 = 60°, Vin = 2.0 m/s). (f) Case B3 (θ0 = 60°, Vin = 2.5 m/s). (g) Case C1 (θ0 = 45°, Vin = 1.5 m/s). (h) Case C2 (θ0 = 45°, Vin = 2.0 m/s). (i) Case C3 (θ0 = 45°, Vin = 2.5 m/s).
