The Interaction Between Boundary Layer and Shock Waves in Transonic Flow

Abstract
Experiments of transonic flow past a circular arc profile show that the shock-wave pattern and the pressure distribution are strongly dependent upon the state of the boundary layer. A change from laminar to turbulent boundary layer at a given Mach Number changes the flow pattern considerably. Shock waves can interact with the boundary layer in a manner similar to a reflection from a free jet boundary. These shock waves are not distinctly discernible from pressure distribution measurements.
