Indraft supersonic wind tunnel for shock train investigations
Indraft supersonic wind tunnel for shock train investigations
The study of the shock wave structure which forms in a nearly constant-area duct is particularly relevant for the prediction and control of shock waves interacting with the boundary-layer in air-breathing engine inlets. The present paper examines the flow physics characterising the shock wave structure, referred to as shock train or pseudo-shock, which forms inside a duct. The parameters which need to be considered in the design of an indraft supersonic wind tunnel are also considered. The facility under consideration has been designed to reproduce the compressibility effects developed by shock trains for Mach numbers between 2 and 4.

Abstract
The study of the shock wave structure which forms in a nearly constant-area duct is particularly relevant for the prediction and control of shock waves interacting with the boundary-layer in air-breathing engine inlets. The present paper examines the flow physics characterising the shock wave structure, referred to as shock train or pseudo-shock, which forms inside a duct. The parameters which need to be considered in the design of an indraft supersonic wind tunnel are also considered. The facility under consideration has been designed to reproduce the compressibility effects developed by shock trains for Mach numbers between 2 and 4.
