Shock Wave/Turbulent Boundary Layer Interactions in Two and Three Dimensions.
Abstract
Basic experimental research was conducted in two and three-dimensional shock wave/boundary layer interactions and associated turbulence measurements. The primary emphasis has been in exploring the important but little-known range of three-dimensional interactions at high speeds. Building on previous work, a series of parametric experiments and a detailed analysis have led to the synthesis of scaling laws for Reynolds number effects on these interactions. Further experiments continued the adaptation and use of hot-wire anemometry in high-Reynolds number supersonic flows. Hot-wire surveys were made in the previously-explored flowfield of a reattaching free shear layer, and in the interaction generated by a two-dimensional compression corner of 8 deg deflection angle at Mach 3. Other research activities, including technique, instrumentation, and facility development are summarized in this report.
