Abstract

Blunt-body solutions for suspersonic flow usually concern closed body surfaces. This paper reports on an experimental investigation of a two-layer shock cap and indicates the existence of a predictable contact surface separating the layers. The inner layer was generated by injecting air through a contoured axisymmetric channel on a blunt body so as to simulate a hemispherical contact surface in a Mach number 4.8 flow.

Results show the existence of the contact surface and the influence of a range of mass-injection rates upon the displacement of the bow shock and contact surface from the body.
