Computation of sharp-fin-induced shockwave/turbulent boundary layer interactionsSolutions of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are presented and are compared with a family of experimental results for the three-dimensional interaction of a sharp-fin-induced shock wave with a turbulent boundary layer. The solutions predict most of the essential features of the flow fields for various shock-wave strengths. However, some features of the measured flow fields, such as secondary separation and size of the largest separated zones were not accurately computed. The computed flow fields, aided by particle tracing techniques, display a prominent vortical structure which can be correlated with the observed surface phenomena.
