Hypersonic Shock/Boundary-Layer Interaction Database: New and Corrected Data

An effort was begun in 1989 at the Penn State University Gas Dynamics Laboratory to perform a critical review of the available hypersonic data and to assemble a selected database for purposes of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code validation and turbulence modeling. The effort was sponsored by the National Aero-Space Plane (NASP) Program through NASA Ames Research Center, and was part of an overall task to develop compressible turbulence models. NASA-CR-177577, a database report on hypersonic shock wave / turbulent boundary-layer interactions, was the product of phase 1 of that effort. Phase 2 produced a similar database, NASA-CR-177610, covering the topics of attached hypersonic boundary layers in pressure gradients and compressible turbulent mixing layers. The present report represents the result of the third and final phase: namely, recent additions and corrections to the hypersonic shock wave / turbulent boundary-layer interaction database originally given in NASA-CR-177577. Seven new datasets are presented, consisting of supersonic and hypersonic experiments using single- and double-fin shock wave generators and a compression corner shock wave generator.
