Developing An Experimental/Computational Methodology To Investigate The Response Of Flexible Panels To Shockwave/Boundary-Layer Interactions In Hypersonic Flow

Abstract

The objective of the proposed work is to demonstrate the viability of a coupled experimental computational framework for studying hypersonic fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems at the University of Maryland (UMD) and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). The planned construction of a high-temperature, long-duration hypersonic Ludwieg tube at UMD offers an unprecedented opportunity to co-design a validation-quality capability for hypersonic FSI using state-of-the-art numerical simulations. The problem of ultimate interest is the response of a metallic compliant panel to an external hypersonic shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction (SWBLI).
