Turbulence Phenomena in a Shock Train Interaction
Investigation into mean flow and turbulent physics of a spanwise homogeneous shock train
Wall resolved large eddy simulations of a spanwise homogeneous shock train are conducted, with the aim of quantifying how repeated interactions between the boundary layer and outer shock waves modify local turbulent processes. A description of the uncovered mechanisms is presented in the figure below, and a video overview of the project can be found on Youtube.
