A supersonic flow around a ring cavity on a cylindrical 
body has been experimentally investigated in wide ranges of relative 
lengths of the cavity and Mach numbers. The influence of these parameters 
on the pressure distribution, the structure of the flow, and the regimes 
of flow around the cavity has been determined.
