Flow field measurements in a crossing shockwave turbulent boundary layer interaction at Mach 3An experimental study has been conducted to examine the flow field of the 3D crossing shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interaction. A symmetric pair of 9-deg fins were used to generate the crossing shocks. The incoming boundary layer was developed on the tunnel sidewall and thus was relatively thick, 0.49 arcsec, and suited for pitot probe surveys. The test conditions were a nominal Mach number of 3 and unit Reynolds number of 1.2 x 10 exp 7/ft. The measurements obtained included surface oil flow visualizations, surface static pressures, and boundary layer pitot pressure profiles. The results showed that downstream of the crossing shock intersection, the stagnation pressure losses were significant and the stagnation pressure profiles were highly nonuniform. Despite the severe shock disturbances, the law of the wall and the law of the wake were found to give relatively good agreement with the experimental data.
