Flow in channels and ducts with adjoining cavities are common in natural andengineered systems. Here we report numerical and experimental results of 3Dconfined cavity flow, identifying critical conditions in the recirculating flowformation and mass transport over a range of channel flow properties ($0.1\leqRe \leq 300$) and cavity aspect ratio ($0.1 \leq H/X_{s} \leq1$). In contrastto 2D systems, a mass flux boundary is not formed in 3D confined cavity-channelflow. Streamlines directly enter a recirculating vortex in the cavity and exitto the main channel leading to an exponential increase in the cavity mass fluxwhen the recirculating vortex fills the cavity volume. These findings extendour understanding of flow entry and exit in cavities and suggest conditionswhere convective mass transport into and out of cavities would be amplified andvortex particle capture reduced.
