Abstract

Detailed measurements of the flow over a compression corner were taken using hot-wire probes. The experiments were performed in supersonic flow (M = 2·64) under adiabatic wall conditions. The incompressible analogues of the boundary-layer profiles were obtained and their integral characteristics and shape factors correlated. Comparison with the self-similar profiles used by Lees & Reeves (1964) to describe interaction problems showed some similarities between the shape factors, but the measured negative shears in the separated bubble proved to be much less.
