Reflection of a Weak Shock Wave From a Boundary Layer Along a Flat Plate 1: Interaction of Weak Shock Waves With Laminar and Turbulent Boundary Layers Analyzed by Momentum-Integral Method

Note presenting an investigation of the phenomena encountered when a plane oblique shock wave is incident upon the boundary layer of a flat plate. The flow field was divided into a viscous layer near the wall and a supersonic potential outer flow. With the outer flow determined, boundary-layer growth and pressure distribution were computed and results for the laminar cases were obtained and provided.

An experimental investigation of the applicability of the hypersonic similarity law to bodies of revolution (open access)

An experimental investigation of the applicability of the hypersonic similarity law to bodies of revolution

Report presenting an investigation of the hypersonic similarity law for steady flow about bodies of revolution by correlating the forces and moments from tests at a range of Mach numbers and angles of attack. The data for the lifting cones and ogives are correlated by the hypersonic similarity law. Results regarding the similitude for lift and pitching moment and similitude for drag are provided.
