Description:
An investigation of the two-dimensional, free turbulent shear layer reattaching on an inclined surface at Mach 2.92 and at a high Reynolds number is described. The test geometry is specifically designed to isolate the reattachment process of a high-speed separated flow. A numerical solution of the time-dependent, Reynolds-averaged, Navier-Stokes equations for the entire flow field, employing a two-equation eddy viscosity turbulence model, is presented. Detailed comparisons of prediction and experiment are made in the free shear layer, at reattachment, and in the developing boundary layer downstream. These comparisons include mean surface quantities as well as mean and fluctuating flow-field quantities. Although the overall features of this complex flow field are predicted, there are several deficiencies in the numerical solution, particularly in the region downstream of reattachment. Modifications of the turbulence model to correct these deficiencies are discussed.
