Abstract: | Results of an experimental investigation of the characteristics of a separation region induced by the interaction of an externally
generated oblique shock with the turbulent boundary layer formed in a rectangular half channel are discussed. The experiments
were carried out in the supersonic wind tunnel of the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics SB RAS at a free-stream
Mach number M
∞=3.01 over a range of Reynolds numbers Re
1=(9.7–47.5)×106 m-1 and at zero incidence and zero yaw of the model. Particular attention is paid to the size of the zone of the upstream propagation
of disturbances (upstream influence region) under different experimental conditions: with varied values of the shock wave
strength, half channel width, and Reynolds number. It is shown, in particular, that the normalized upstream influence region
length as a function of inclination angle of the shock generator in a rectangular half channel is readily approximated by
a simple exponential function. In support of the known reference data obtained for supersonic numbers M
∞ and moderate Re in other configurations, it is also shown that the upstream influence region length decreases with increasing Reynolds number.
Generalization of experimental data on the length of the upstream influence region formed in similar geometric configurations
is possible using an additional reference linear scale which is the distance from the leading edge of the shock generator
to the exposed surface. A substantial dependence of the reference dimensions of separation region on the half channel width
is also established.
