Summary: 

This test case considers the interaction between an incident oblique shock wave impinging a laminar boundary layer developing over a flat plate. The interaction produces a separation of the
flow and a subsequent recirculation bubble. The free stream Mach number is 2.15 and the lengthwise Reynolds number at the shock impingement location is 105. In this configuration, the flow remains 2D and stationary.

Participants are required to perform a grid/order convergence study, demonstrating convergence of the drag coefficient of the full plate, as well as the separation and reattachment point locations. Furthermore the pressure and friction coefficient along the plate will be compared. Computations should be run on a predefined mesh sequence, which will be provided on request. Additional unstructured mesh computations will also be considered.

 

Features and challenges: 
Steady flow
Supersonic flow
Laminar flow
