The Structure and Control of Three-Dimensional Shock Wave Turbulent Boundary Layer Interactions
Abstract
The three year period covered in the subject report was a considerable shift from the previous years of work on shock wave turbulent boundary layer interactions. The earlier work concentrated on simple building block experiments and a search for fundamental understanding of the flow phenomena. In the subject research, most of the work on fundamentals for the simple configurations was stopped. The main emphasis for the first two years of the current program was on complex configurations and the final year was a close-out program on a new approach. The work on complex configurations was limited to two geometries which used the much studied single sharp fin interaction, Fig. 1, as the initial conditions. This shift in emphasis had two main purposes: (1) block experiments in more complex interactions required for applications and (2) to provide a more critical test of computation which, although giving the general characteristics for the building block experiments, did not give highly quantitative results. The primary activities for the first two years will be discussed in three major groupings: (1) and (2) Discussions of the two complex configurations, and (3) a description of the boundary layer conditions which are critical to the definition of the experiment and the check by computational fluid dynamics.
