Most flows of aerodynamic interest are compressible and turbulent. However, our present knowledge on the structures and mechanisms of turbulence is mostly based on incompressible flows. In the present work, compressibility effects in turbulent, high-speed, boundary layer flows are systematically investigated using the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) approach. Three-dimensional, time-dependent, fully nonlinear, compressible Navier-Stokes equations were numerically integrated by high-order finite-difference methods; no modeling for turbulence is used during the solution because the available resolution is sufficient to capture the relevant scales. The boundary layer problem deals with fully-turbulent compressible flows over flat geometries. Apart from its practical relevance to technological flows, turbulent compressible boundary layer flow is the simplest experimentally realizable turbulent compressible flow. Still, measuring difficulties prohibit a detailed experimental description of the flow, especially in the near-wall region. DNS studies provide a viable means to probe the physics of compressible turbulence in this region. The focus of this work is to explore the paths of energy transfer through which compressible turbulence is sustained. The structural similarities and differences between the incompressible and compressible turbulence are also investigated. The energy flow patterns or energy cascades are found to be directly related to the evolution of vortical structures which are generated in the near-wall region. Near-wall structures, and mechanisms which are not readily accessible through physical experiments are analyzed and their critical role on the evolution and the behavior of the flow is documented extensively.

Shock wave-boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) is a fundamental phenomenon in gas dynamics that is observed in many practical situations, ranging from transonic aircraft wings to hypersonic vehicles and engines. SBLIs have the potential to pose serious problems in a flowfield; hence they often prove to be a critical - or even design limiting - issue for many aerospace applications. This is the first book devoted solely to a comprehensive, state-of-the-art explanation of this phenomenon. It includes a description of the basic fluid mechanics of SBLIs plus contributions from leading international experts who share their insight into their physics and the impact they have in practical flow situations. This book is for practitioners and graduate students in aerodynamics who wish to familiarize themselves with all aspects of SBLI flows. It is a valuable resource for specialists because it compiles experimental, computational and theoretical knowledge in one place.

Shockwave and turbulent boundary layer interactions produce intense localized pressure loads and heating rates that can have a dramatic influence on the drag and heating experienced by a high-speed vehicle, and can significantly impact fuel mixing and combustion in propulsion systems. The lack of standardized and traceable databases prevents the calibration of computational fluid dynamic models to accurately represent these critical flow phenomena. In this work we accomplished the development and validation against experiments at the same flow and boundary conditions of direct numerical simulations of shock and turbulent boundary layer interactions. We pioneered the development of a unique numerical capability that allows the accurate and detailed three-dimensional turbulence data at a reasonable turn-around time. In turn, parametric studies of fundamental flow physics are feasible, for the first time. By accurate, it is meant that the numerical uncertainty is within the experimental error.

Situations where an incident shock wave impinges upon a boundary layer are common in the aeronautical and spatial industries. Under certain circumstances (High Mach number, large shock angle...), the interaction between an incident shock wave and a boundary layer may create an unsteady separation bubble. This bubble, as well as the subsequent reflected shock wave, are known to oscillate in a low-frequency streamwise motion. This phenomenon, called the unsteadiness of the shock wave boundary layer interaction (SWBLI), subjects structures to oscillating loads that can lead to damages for the solid structure integrity.The aim of the present work is the unsteady numerical simulation of (SWBLI) in order to contribute to a better understanding of the SWBLI unsteadiness and the physical mechanism causing these low frequency oscillations of the interaction zone.To perform this study, an original numerical approach is used. The one step Finite Volume approach relies on the discretization of the convective fluxes of the Navier Stokes equations using the OSMP scheme developed up to the 7-th order both in space and time, the viscous fluxes being discretized using a standard centered Finite-Difference scheme. A Monotonicity-Preserving (MP) constraint is employed as a shock capturing procedure. The validation of this approach demonstrates the correct accuracy of the OSMP scheme to predict turbulent features and the great efficiency of the MP procedure to capture discontinuities without spoiling the solution and with an almost negligible additional cost. It is also shown that the use of the highest order tested of the OSMP scheme is relevant in term of simulation time and accuracy compromise. Moreover, an order of accuracy higher than 2-nd order for approximating the diffusive fluxes seems to have a negligible influence on the solution for such relatively high Reynolds numbers.By simulating the 3D unsteady interaction between a laminar boundary layer and an incident shock wave, we suppress the suspected influence of the large turbulent structures of the boundary layer on the SWBLI unsteadiness, the only remaining suspected cause of unsteadiness being the dynamics of the separation bubble. Results show that only the reattachment point oscillates at low frequencies characteristic of the breathing of the separation bubble. The separation point of the recirculation bubble and the foot of the reflected shock wave have a fixed location along the flat plate with respect to time. It shows that, in this configuration, the SWBLI unsteadiness is not observed.In order to reproduce and analyse the SWBLI unsteadiness, the simulation of a shock wave turbulent boundary layer interaction (SWTBLI) is performed. A Synthetic Eddy Method (SEM), adapted to compressible flows, has been developed and used at the inlet of the simulation domain for initiating the turbulent boundary layer without prohibitive additional computational costs. Analyses of the results are performed using, among others, the snapshot Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) technique. For this simulation, the SWBLI unsteadiness has been observed. Results suggest that the dominant flapping mode of the recirculation bubble occurs at medium frequency. These cycles of successive enlargement and shrinkage of the separated zone are shown to be irregular in time, the maximum size of the recirculation bubble being submitted to discrepancies between successive cycles. This behaviour of the separation bubble is responsible for a low frequency temporal modulation of the amplitude of the separation and reattachment point motions and thus for the low frequency breathing of the separation bubble. These results tend to suggest that the SWBLI unsteadiness is related to this low frequency dynamics of the recirculation bubble; the oscillations of the reflected shocks foot being in phase with the motion of the separation point.
