Physical Mechanisms in Shock-Induced Turbulent Separated Flow.

Abstract

It has been demonstrated that the flow downstream of the moving shock is separated and that the foot of the shock is effectively the instantaneous separation point. The shock induced turbulent separation is an intermittant process and the separation line indicated by surface tracer methods, such as kerosene-lampblack, is a downstream boundary of a region of intermittent separation. Keywords: Shock induced separation, Turbulent boundary layers, Reattachment.
