A supersonic film-cooling configuration with shock interaction is investigated experimentally by means of high-speed particleimage velocimetry. A laminar cooling film is injected at an injection Mach number of Ma i = 1.8 beneath a turbulent boundary layer at a freestream Mach number of Ma ∞ = 2.45. A flow deflection of β = 8 deg generates a shock wave which impinges upon the cooling film at different streamwise positions in the potential-core or the wall-jet region. The influence of the impingement position of the incident shock on the cooling film is analyzed by time-averaged velocity fields and Reynolds shear stress distributions. The results show severe shock-induced flow separation. Shock impingement in the wall-jet region leads to a significantly larger separation bubble compared to shock impingement in the potential-core region. The shock interaction causes intense turbulent mixing between the outer flow and the cooling film downstream of the impingement position. The Reynolds shear stress is increased by a factor of 6 and by a factor of 8 for shock impingement in the potential-core region and in the wall-jet region compared the undisturbed reference case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
