The 3D separation behaviour of a micro-ramp controlled oblique shock-wave reflection: An experimental Investigation

Oblique Shock-Wave Reflections or Shock Wave-Boundary Layer interactions (SWBLI) are complex phenomena which commonly occur in high speed flight. SWBLIs can have catastrophic consequences on the aircraft due to shock induced separation and unsteadiness of the interaction. These adverse effects can be mitigated by manipulating the boundary layer,...
