Book Synopsis Three-dimensional Shock Wave-turbulent Boundary Layer Interactions at Mach 6 by : C. Herbert Law

Download or read book Three-dimensional Shock Wave-turbulent Boundary Layer Interactions at Mach 6 written by C. Herbert Law. This book was released on 1975. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental results of an investigation of the three-dimensional interaction between a skewed shock wave and a turbulent boundary layer are presented. Surface pressure and heat transfer distributions and oil flow photographs were obtained at a freestream Mach number of 5.85 and two Reynolds numbers of ten and twenty million per foot. The model configuration consisted of a shock generator mounted perpendicularly to a flat plate. The shock generator leading edge was sharp and nonswept and intersected the flat plate surface about 8.5 inches downstream of the flat plate leading edge. The shock generator surface was 7.55 inches long and 3 inches high and its angle to the freestream flow was adjusted from 4 to 20 degrees. The generated shock waves were of sufficient strength to produce turbulent boundary layer separation on the flat plate surface.
