Perturbations initiated in the thermal boundary layer by a light wall depression
Abstract
In order to study the effects of laminar separation and reattachment induced in a supersonic flow by a shallow hole in a flat plate, a numerical calculation was devised based on two methods. This calculation can predict separation and reattachment distances, and also velocity and temperature profiles for any value of the Prandtl number. Theoretical results in good agreement with the experiments make it possible to conclude that the calculation gives good estimations of the main characteristics of the flow.
