Turbulence in a hypersonic compression ramp flow

Using direct numerical simulation, the shock wave--turbulent boundary layer interaction (STBLI) generated by a compression ramp in Mach 7 flow is investigated. The behavior of turbulence in hypersonic STBLI has not been investigated as extensively in the literature as in supersonic interactions. This work describes the evolution of mean and fluctuating quantities, including velocity and temperature fluctuations, providing insight into the behavior of turbulence in a hypersonic STBLI.
