The Interaction of a Shock with a Compressible Vortex

Numerical simulation of the interaction of a shock with either a single vortex or a vortex pair are used to investigate the resulting shock structure, production of acoustic waves, vortex distortion, and vorticity amplification. The study includes the interaction of strong (M=1.5) and weak (M=1.5) shocks with both strong and weak vortices which have peak velocities equal to the velocity of the fluid behind the strong and weak shocks, respectively. The simulations show that at early times, the distortion of a shock by a strong vortex can be predicted using a simple linear model. In addition, a quadrupolar wave propagates upstream as predicted by linearized theories. At later times, the interaction of the diffracted and refracted portions of the shock produces connected reflected shock structures. For the strong shock, the reflected shock structure merges with the quadrupolar wave to produce the asymmetric acoustic wave observed in experiment.

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.
