• Experimental Study of Swept Impinging Oblique Shock/Boundary-Layer Interactions

  AIAA Journal · 2020-11-16 · 42 citations

  articleSenior author

  An experimental investigation has been conducted on swept impinging oblique shock/boundary-layer interactions at a nominal Mach number of 2.28 with a fully turbulent incoming boundary layer . The swept impinging oblique shock is induced by shock generators with plane deflection angle and various plane sweep angles , 22.5, 30.0, and 40.0 deg. Oil flow visualization, mean pressure measurements, and high-bandwidth pressure transducers are used to provide detailed characterization of the mean and un…

• An inviscid analysis of swept oblique shock reflections

  Journal of Fluid Mechanics · 2020-03-17 · 27 citations

  articleSenior author

  An inviscid flow model is presented to gain a basic understanding of the reflection of a swept oblique shock from a planar wall. The analytical model is constructed to describe the fundamental influence of sweep on this shock configuration, which has been commonly studied as an unswept non-dimensional shock boundary layer interaction (SBLI). Transformation of model parameters into a plane perpendicular to the sweep angle reduces the resultant flow to a two-parameter system. An equivalency betwee…

• Momentum Coefficient Governing Discrete Jet Actuation for Separation Control

  AIAA Journal · 2021-10-13 · 18 citations

  article

  Amplitude scaling laws for active control of boundary layer separation using discrete jet forcing are not fully established. Momentum coefficient is the most widely accepted scaling parameter, but accurate measurement and assessment of the employed assumptions are often not documented or even attempted. This work discusses various methods for experimentally determining the momentum coefficient produced by fluidic oscillators. Complementary simulations of the actuator are performed using delayed…

• Scaling and Transition Effects on Hollow-Cylinder/Flare Shock/Boundary-Layer Interactions in Wind Tunnel Environments

  AIAA Journal · 2024-12-28 · 5 citations

  articleOpen access

  A comprehensive investigation into the flow over a hollow-cylinder and [Formula: see text] flare has been conducted at Mach 5 with transitional Reynolds numbers. Experiments of two similar models have been conducted in LT5 at the University of Arizona and R2Ch at ONERA. Considerable differences in reattachment behavior were observed from infrared thermography measurements indicating that the reattachment in LT5 was approximately twice as far from the flare base as observed in R2Ch. Supporting si…
