Book Description
This paper treats the interaction between hot layers extended along the wall and normal or oblique shocks moving over them. Emphasis is on the cases of large hot-layer temperatures and strong shock waves for which small-perturbation theories are not applicable. A variety of possible interaction patterns are described. Of greatest interest are the more extreme cases when the hot layer is forced to accumulate in a growing bubble-like region bound to the moving shock, and some of the cold air above the layer moves around the bubble and interposes a high-speed forward-moving cold jet between the wall and the bubble. For some cases, especially with oblique shocks, this reverse jet may not form. Mixing will eventually limit the size of the bubble and make its characteristics more nearly like those of the more familiar separation bubbles. The effects of viscosity at the wall remains essentially different, however, since the shock is moving relative to the wall.
