Interaction of a moving shock wave with a turbulent boundary layer

In the present study, influence of a uniformly moving impinging shock on resulting wave–turbulent boundary layer interaction is numerically investigated. The relative Mach number front travelling above flat-plate model varied between 0 and 2.3, while quasi-steady inflow conditions remained constant with 3. To quantitatively evaluate effect speed, well-known scaling method for length in flows was applied as reference after significant improvements modelling effects Reynolds wall temperature using new existing data. Moreover, previously obtained experimental results limited range speeds were employed to validate numerical results. Three ranges distinctly different properties extracted described developed correlation-based approach built extended quasi-stationary law. first range, scaled reaches its maximum given strength can be directly by law interactions. second travelling-speed dependence explicitly influenced movement. With increasing here decreases significantly faster than case. end this speed reached when absolute has caught up sound zone, thus fallen zero. This limit signifies transition third where upstream no longer possible.
