Comments

This study used laser Doppler velocimetry techniques to measure the turbulence intensities and Reynolds shear stresses in a Mach 2.9 turbulent flat plate with an impinging shock wave. The shock strength was varied, using three wedge shock generators with turning angles of 5°, 7°, and 10°.
