The Effects Of Strong Wall Cooling On Supersonic And Hypersonic Shock/Boundary-Layer Interactions

Abstract

The aim of the proposed work is to develop a physical understanding of the effects of wall cooling in supersonic and hypersonic shock/boundary-layer interactions. Shock/boundary-layer interactions (SBLI) are important in many high-speed flight applications. A sufficiently strong shock can separate the boundary layer, leading to loss of lift or control authority (in external flows) or to the initiation of unstart (in internal flows). Even during stable operation, SBLI may generate low-frequency oscillations that adversely affect the structure through unsteady structural- and heat-loads.
