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.

Linear analysis and direct numerical simulation (DNS) are used to study the interaction of a shock wave with a turbulent flow. Effects central to shock wave/boundary layer interaction are identified and explained. The quantitative importance of the turbulence anisotropy and the shock oblique angle is demonstrated. Drop in Reynolds shear stress across a normal shock is shown. The implication for Reynolds stress models is discussed. The role of dilatational turbulent fluctuations on turbulence amplification is studied in detail. An explanation is suggested for lower amplification reported in wind-tunnel studies. Linear analysis & DNS are used to demonstrate the considerable influence of entropic fluctuations on turbulence evolution across a shock. Positive correlation between u' and T ' suppress amplification while negative correlation enhances it. Invalidity of Morkovin's hypothesis is demonstrated. A high order scheme is developed to allow strong shock/turbulence interaction. Results are presented for isotropic turbulence/normal shock interaction. (AN).

Shockwave and turbulent boundary layer interactions produce intense localized pressure loads and heating rates that can have a dramatic influence on the drag and heating experienced by a high-speed vehicle, and can significantly impact fuel mixing and combustion in propulsion systems. The lack of standardized and traceable databases prevents the calibration of computational fluid dynamic models to accurately represent these critical flow phenomena. In this work we accomplished the development and validation against experiments at the same flow and boundary conditions of direct numerical simulations of shock and turbulent boundary layer interactions. We pioneered the development of a unique numerical capability that allows the accurate and detailed three-dimensional turbulence data at a reasonable turn-around time. In turn, parametric studies of fundamental flow physics are feasible, for the first time. By accurate, it is meant that the numerical uncertainty is within the experimental error.
