Simulation of Shockwave-turbulent Boundary Layer Interactions Usingthe Reynolds-averaged Navier-stokes Equations

The paper examines the capability for numerical simulation of three-dimensional shock wave turbulent boundary layer interactions using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Two con gurations are considered, namely, the single and double n interactions. Numerical simulations were performed by an international group of researchers as part of an AGARD-sponsored study of capabilities for simulation of high speed ight. A broad range of turbulence models were employed including zero-, one-, two-equation and full Reynolds Stress Equation models. The paper presents a comparison of the numerical simulations with experiment and summarizes the results.
