Abstract

The method of [2] is used to examine the interaction of a shock or an expansion wave in the outer plane supersonic stream with a turbulent near wake. It is shown that the flow in the disturbed near wake may be two-valued, and for fixed conditions in the outer stream quasisteady transitional flows between these two steady states are possible. Under the influence of some external disturbing mechanism (believed to be turbulent pulsations of the large-vortex type) these quasi-steady flows become relaxation oscillations which lead to the experimentally observed base-pressure oscillations.
