An experimental study of shock wave/vortex interaction
Abstract
The interaction of a supersonic streamwise vortices (of Mach number 2.2, 3.0, and 3.5) with a normal shock wave has been experimentally investigated, and is found to be highly unsteady. Five-hole pressure-probe and temperature measurements ahead of the interaction are used as initial conditions for an axisymmetric Navier-Stokes calculation. The numerical results supports the hypothesis that supersonic vortex breakdown is an important factor in the observed interaction flow pattern.
