Summary:

An experimental investigation has been made to study the interaction between an incident oblique shock wave and a turbulent boundary layer on a solid surface downstream of a porous surface with air injection through the porous surface. The results are clearly of direct interest to the design of cooled turbine blades. However, the boundary-layer profiles in the absence of the shock are similar to those in a boundary layer subjected to an adverse pressure gradient so that the results at the interaction also give some indication of the effects of an isentropic compression upstream of a shock/boundary-layer interaction. The experiments show the surprising result that the shock strength to produce incipient Separation is virtually independent of the shape of the boundary-layer profile upstream of the interaction, although the scale of the interaction increases with increase in the injection rate.
