Nonasymptotic theory of unseparated turbulent boundary layer-shock wave interactions with application to transonic flows
Abstract
A non-asymptotic small disturbance theory is developed which generalizes Lighthill's (1953) analysis of the shear-disturbance sublayer to fully account for the effect of wall turbulence on the upstream influence, displacement thickness growth, and skin friction for transonic or supersonic shock-boundary layer interactions. The theory treats the complete Reynolds number range between a quasi-laminar behavior at lower Re and an asymptotic theory-type behavior at very high Re
