Summary
Shock wave–boundary-layer interactions (SBLIs) occur when a shock wave and a boundary layer converge and, since both can be found in almost every supersonic flow, these interactions are commonplace. The most obvious way for them to arise is for an externally generated shock wave to impinge onto a surface on which there is a boundary layer. However, these interactions also can be produced if the slope of the body surface changes in such a way as to produce a sharp compression of the flow near the surface – as occurs, for example, at the beginning of a ramp or a flare, or in front of an isolated object attached to a surface such as a vertical fin. If the flow is supersonic, a compression of this sort usually produces a shock wave that has its origin within the boundary layer. This has the same affect on the viscous flow as an impinging wave coming from an external source. In the transonic regime, shock waves are formed at the downstream edge of an embedded supersonic region; where these shocks come close to the surface, an SBLI is produced.
