Study of the Interaction of a Streamwise-Oscillating Shock with the Boundary Layer on a Flat Plate

The distinctive features of the flow in the region of interaction between an oscillating shock and a flat-plate boundary layer are studied for the laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow regimes. The flow patterns and the pressure and heat transfer distributions in the interaction region are analyzed at different intensities, frequencies, and amplitudes of the oscillating shock. The results of the interaction of oscillating and steady shocks with the flat-plate boundary layer are compared.
