Description/Abstract

Three different large-eddy simulation investigations
of the interaction between an impinging oblique shock
and a supersonic turbulent boundary layer are presented. All
simulations made use of the same inflow technique, specifically
aimed at avoiding possible low-frequency interferences
with the shock/boundary-layer interaction system. All simulations
were run on relatively wide computational domains
and integrated over times greater than twenty five times the
period of the most commonly reported low-frequency shock oscillation,
making comparisons at both time-averaged and
low-frequency-dynamic levels possible. The results confirm
previous experimental results which suggested a simple linear
relation between the interaction length and the obliqueshock
strength if scaled using the boundary-layer thickness
and wall-shear stress. All the tested cases show evidences
of significant low-frequency shock motions. At the wall,
energetic low-frequency pressure fluctuations are observed,
mainly in the initial part of interaction.
