An Idealized Theory of Transonic Normal Shock-Boundary Layer Interaction.

Abstract

A simplified two-layer theoretical model of a transonic normal shock interacting with an unseparated laminar or turbulent boundary layer is studied. It constitutes an extension of Isien and Finston's theory for purely-supersonic oblique impinging shocks to include the mixed subsonic-supersonic character of the normal shock case. Analytical solutions of the resulting integral equations for the disturbance flow streamline geometry and pressure distributions are obtained by means of Fourier transformation and standard numerical techniques. The resulting predictions are seen to be in good qualitative agreement with experimental trends.
