On the Structure of Three-Dimensional Shock-Induced Separated Flow Regions,
Abstract
A study is made of existing experimental data on three-dimensional skewed shock-wave interactions with both laminar and turbulent boundary layers and recent results in which extensive regions of turbulent separation were obtained. Comparisons show that the structure of three-dimensional shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions is not fundamentally different for laminar or turbulent flow; it is primarily dependent on the extent of separation. A qualitative description is given for the flow structure from incipient to large extents of separation. For the latter, a secondary incipient condition arises within the primary separation vortex. For still larger extents of separation it is deduced that a secondary vortex arises adjacent to the surface and totally embedded in the primary separation vortex. (Author)
