Oblique Shock Wave-Boundary Layer Interactions Over Porous Plates

This report discusses an investigation into the effect of a porous plate covering a cavity, on an oblique shock wave-boundary layer interaction. Four porous plates with different hole sizes and porosities, as well as a solid, 'dummy', plate, have been tested in a Mach 2 wind tunnel whereby an oblique shock wave (produced by a wedge) impinged on...
