A new numerical study of the shock/boundary‐layer interaction

This paper describes a new numerical study of the flat plate shock/boundary‐layer interaction by using a weighted high‐resolution, total variation diminishing (TVD) scheme. The key difference of this study from former studies is that new secondary vortices in the separated region have been found for the first time, with increasing the impinging shock angle or the free‐stream Mach number.
