A study of the interaction of a nonstationary shock wave with a boundary layer on a plate in the transition regime
Abstract
The characteristics of supersonic flow in the region of interaction of a fluctuating shock wave with a boundary layer on a plate in the transition regime were investigated experimentally in a wind tunnel with an axisymmetric test section and flow heating at Mach 3. New three-dimensional periodic structures in the interaction region are identified. The structures are very similar to Taylor-Goertler vortices formed in the separation and reattachment regions in the turbulent regime.
