This report results from a contract tasking Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics as follows: The contractor will help the CFD group at AFRL to better understand shock-wave/turbulent boundary layer phenomena by providing a comprehensive set of experimental data with emphasis on both quantitative and flow visualization aspects. He will fill-in the gaps which exist in the test matrix both at Mach 4 and 5 He will also expand the range of measurements to include shock structure and skin friction coefficient data.

Shock wave-boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) is a fundamental phenomenon in gas dynamics that is observed in many practical situations, ranging from transonic aircraft wings to hypersonic vehicles and engines. SBLIs have the potential to pose serious problems in a flowfield; hence they often prove to be a critical - or even design limiting - issue for many aerospace applications. This is the first book devoted solely to a comprehensive, state-of-the-art explanation of this phenomenon. It includes a description of the basic fluid mechanics of SBLIs plus contributions from leading international experts who share their insight into their physics and the impact they have in practical flow situations. This book is for practitioners and graduate students in aerodynamics who wish to familiarize themselves with all aspects of SBLI flows. It is a valuable resource for specialists because it compiles experimental, computational and theoretical knowledge in one place.
