Investigation of 3D Shock Boundary Layer Interaction: A Combined Approach using Experiments, Numerical Simulations and Stability Analysis

Abstract

The ultimate goal of the proposed research is to understand the relevant hydrodynamic instability mechanisms that govern the interaction of a turbulent boundary layer with a swept oblique impinging shock. Experiments will take the lead in defining the parameter space of interest since simulations will be computationally expensive. Each aspect of the proposed work offers a novel contribution, but collectively the research becomes transformative to the field.
