Book excerpt: This research describes continuing efforts in the analysis of 3-D shock wave turbulent boundary layer interactions. A significant research activity in 3-D hypersonic shock turbulent interactions is initiated to further develop and validate the theoretical model. The quasiconical free interaction principle is examined by simulation of two geometries -17.5 deg sharp fin and (30,60) swept compression corner (Mach 3) - selected to obtain similar shock strengths. The comparison with experimental data is good. It is confirmed that the differences caused by the particular geometry of the model appear only behind the inviscid shock wave. Continuing research on 3-D turbulent interaction control is focused on the effect of bleed and the simulation of flows past the double-fin configuration. The effect of suction is examined on a strong (fin angle=20 deg, Mach 3) and a weak interaction (8 deg, Mach 3). The overall effect of bleed is remarkably modest. Two double-fin configurations (4 x 4 and 8 x 8, Mach 3) are simulated. A study of the computed flowfield indicates that the first is a weak interaction. In contrast, the 8 x 8 configuration displays an interesting separated flowfield. An analysis of viscous and inviscid effects in a sharp fin and a swept corner flow indicates that the physics of both geometries are governed primarily by inviscid (pressure) effects. Viscous effects are of lower magnitude but are not restricted to the sublayer region.
