8 - Shock Wave???Boundary-Layer Interactions Occurring in Hypersonic Flows in the Upper Atmosphere

Export citation
Summary

Introduction

Many hypersonic vehicles are designed to follow trajectories that extend well into the upper atmosphere where the density is extremely low. Despite this, aerodynamic heating is still a critical issue because of the very high flight velocity. The U.S. Space Shuttle Orbiter, for instance, experienced peak heating at a height of about 74 km even though ambient density at that altitude is not much more than one millionth of sea-level density. Shock wave–boundary-layer interactions (SBLIs) that occur within these flows are nearly always sites of intense localized heating; thus, it is essential to predict the level correctly to avoid vehicle structural failure or incurring unnecessary weight penalties by carrying excessive thermal protection.
