Using a nanoparticle-based planar laser-scattering technique and supersonic particle image velocimetry, we investigated the effects of micro-ramp control on incident shockwave and boundary-layer interaction (SWBLI) in a low-noise supersonic wind-tunnel with Mach number 2.7 and Reynolds number Rθ = 5845. High spatiotemporal resolution wake structures downstream of the micro-ramps were detected, while a complex evolution process containing a streamwise counter-rotating vortex pair and large-scale hairpin-like vortices with Strouhal number Stδ of about 0.5–0.65 was revealed. The large-scale structures could survive while passing through the SWBLI region. Reflected shockwaves are clearly seen to be distorted accompanied by high-frequency fluctuations. Micro-ramp applications have a distinct influence on flow patterns of the SWBLI field that vary depending on spanwise locations. Both the shock foot and separation line exhibit undulations corresponding with modifications of the velocity distribution of the incoming boundary layer. Moreover, by energizing parts of the boundary flow, the micro-ramp is able to dampen the separation.
