In this study, the length scaling for the boundary layer separation induced by two incident shock waves is experimentally and analytically investigated. The experiments are performed in a Mach 2.73 flow. A double-wedge shock generator with two deflection angles (
$\alpha _1$
and
$\alpha _2$
) is employed to generate two incident shock waves. Two deflection angle combinations with an identical total deflection angle are adopted: (
$\alpha _1 = 7^\circ$
,
$\alpha _2 = 5^\circ$
) and (
$\alpha _1 = 5^\circ$
,
$\alpha _2 = 7^\circ$
). For each deflection angle combination, the flow features of the dual-incident shock wave–turbulent boundary layer interactions (dual-ISWTBLIs) under five shock wave distance conditions are examined via schlieren photography, wall-pressure measurements and surface oil-flow visualisation. The experimental results show that the separation point moves downstream with increasing shock wave distance (
$d$
). For the dual-ISWTBLIs exhibiting a coupling separation state, the upstream interaction length (
$L_{int}$
) of the separation region approximately linearly decreases with increasing
$d$
, and the decrease rate of
$L_{int}$
with
$d$
increases with the second deflection angle under the condition of an identical total deflection angle. Based on control volume analysis of mass and momentum conservations, the relation between
$L_{int}$
and
$d$
is analytically determined to be approximately linear for the dual-ISWTBLIs with a coupling separation region, and the slope of the linear relation obtained analytically agrees well with that obtained experimentally. Furthermore, a prediction method for
$L_{int}$
of the dual-ISWTBLIs with a coupling separation region is proposed, and the relative error of the predicted
$L_{int}$
in comparison with the experimental result is
$\sim$
10 %.
