Abstract

A direct numerical simulation of shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interaction for a 24 deg compression ramp configuration at Mach 2.9 and Re θ 2300 is performed. A modified weighted, essentially nonoscillatory scheme is used. The direct numerical simulation results are compared with the experiments of Bookey et al. at the same flow conditions. The upstream boundary layer, the mean wall-pressure distribution, the size of the separation bubble, and the velocity profile downstream of the interaction are predicted within the experimental uncertainty. The change of the mean and fluctuating properties throughout the interaction region is studied. The low frequency motion of the shock is inferred from the wall-pressure signal and freestream mass-flux measurement.
