Dynamics of Interactions Between Turbulent Boundary Layers And Compliant Surfaces
Abstract
A synergistic experimental and computational campaign is proposed to significantly improve our understanding of nonlinear interactions and energy transfer that arise from Turbulent Boundary Layers (TBL) and Shock-Boundary Layer Interactions (SBLI) on compliant surfaces. Such phenomena represent design-driving conditions for structural skin panels on high-speed air vehicles, yet we currently do not have sufficient basic understanding for high-confidence predictions. Since experiments and computations are expensive and difficult for this class of problem, we propose a systematically progressive decomposition so as to target key knowledge gaps and lay the basic research foundation needed to direct future studies and ultimately revolutionize predictive models.
