Wind tunnel testing are conducted under different back pressures in a vacuum-type wind tunnel for two supersonic jet oscillators, to obtain their characteristics and the conditions for jet oscillating. The experimental results show that the continuous, nearly symmetric or asymmetric flipping between the two cavities appears over certain nozzle pressure ratio （NPR） range for both oscillators according to schlieren visualizations. Compared to the free jet, the oscillating jet with large exit achieves larger mixing; the oscillating jet with small exit has less mixing, based on the analysis of jet axial peak velocity and the entrainment. The cross-junction mode for estimating the resonance frequency in a pipe with two closed side branches is modified and obtained comparable estimations of the frequency of jet flipping with experimental data, but further investigations are needed to discover the underlying mechanism for the jet flipping.展开更多
