Sidewall Effects on Exact Reynolds-Stress Budgets in an Impinging Shock Wave/Boundary Layer Interaction

Abstract: Large-eddy simulations are performed using wall-resolved mesh for a Mach 2.29 impinging shock wave/boundary-layer interaction. Flow conditions are based on an experiment and therefore entire span was simulated, including the two sidewalls. Mean flow comparison with the experimental data showed that the predicted interaction length was larger in the simulation. Time-series analysis of a rake of pressure signals immediately downstream of the mean reflected shock position showed a peak in weight…
