Layer Flow

Separation of a supersonic boundary layer (or equivalently a hypersonic boundary layer in a region of weak global interaction) near a compression ramp is considered for moderate wall temperatures. For small ramp angles, the flow in the vicinity of the ramp is described by the classical supersonic triple-deck structure governing a local viscous-inviscid interaction. The boundary layer is known to exhibit recirculating flow near the corner once the ramp angle exceeds a certain critical value. Here it is shown that above a second and larger critical ramp angle, the boundary-layer flow develops an instability. The instability appears to be associated with the occurrence of inflection points in the streamwise velocity profiles within the recirculation region and develops as a wave packet which remains stationary near the corner and grows in amplitude with time.
