SIMULTANEOUS WALL PRESSURE - PIV MEASUREMENTS IN A SHOCK WAVE / TURBULENT BOUNDARY LAYER INTERACTION
SINOPSIS
We present here experimental results in a shock wave /
turbulent boundary layer interaction at Mach number of 2.3 impinged by an oblique shock wave, with a deflection angle of 9.5°, as installed in the supersonic wind tunnel of the IUSTI laboratory, France. For such a shock intensity, strong unsteadiness are developing inside the separated zone involving very low frequencies associated with reflected shock motions, together with a mean three dimensional organization of the flow.
The present work consists in simultaneous PIV velocity
fields and unsteady wall pressure measurements. The wall
pressure and PIV measurements were used to characterize the pressure distribution at the wall in an axial direction, and the flow field associated. These results give access for the first time to the spatial-time correlation between wall pressure and velocity in a shock wave turbulent boundary layer interaction and show the feasibility of such coupling techniques in compressible
flows. Linear Stochastic Estimation (LSE) coupled
with Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) has been applied to these measurements, and first results are presented here show the ability of these techniques to predict the unsteady breathing of the recirculating bubble.
