shock boundary layer interaction

Effects of a nonadiabatic wall on supersonic shock/boundary-layer interactions

Direct numerical simulations are employed to investigate a shock wave impinging on a turbulent boundary layer at free-stream Mach number M=2.28 with different wall thermal conditions, including adiabatic, cooled, and heated, for a wide range of deflection angles. It is found that the thermal boundary condition at the wall has a large effect on the size of the interaction region and on the level of pressure fluctuations.
