Shock wave-turbulent boundary layer interaction in hypersonic flow

Michael Holden

Abstract

Abstract : A study is presented of the characteristics of transitional and turbulent layers, and regions of shock wave-turbulent boundary layer interaction in high Reynolds number hypersonic flow. An examination and correlation of skin friction, heat transfer and pressure measurements in laminar, transitional and turbulent boundary layers on sharp flat plates and cones are presented for the Mach range from 3 to 13 at wall-to-free stream temperature ratios from 0.1 to 0. 4.
