The Effect of Sweep on Conditions at Separation in Turbulent Boundary-Layer/Shock-Wave Interaction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 June 2016
Summary
An approximate analysis of conditions at separation produced by turbulent boundary-layer/shock-wave interaction is presented for swept, cylindrically symmetric flows. An integral boundary-layer prediction method is used, incorporating Johnston crossflow profiles. The results indicate a marked reduction in pressure rise required to produce separation as sweep is increased. At low Reynolds numbers the skin friction at separation is inferred to be small, whereas at higher Reynolds numbers the presence of a vigorous streamwise flow may be detected. In the limiting case of zero sweep, or two-dimensional flow, predictions using the approximate analysis are shown to compare well with experimental results of pressure rise to separation.
