Research on Supersonic Turbulent Separated and Reattached Flows.

Abstract

Basic research programs are reported with fundamental applications to supersonic flight. The experimental studies made use of the unique capabilities of the high Reynolds number Mach 3 facility. The experimental programs concentrated on phenomena associated with incipient separation and separation of turbulent boundary layers over a large Reynolds number range. The reattachment phenomena of a shear layer was also studied in great depth.
