Abstract
An asymptotic theory of the interaction of a turbulent boundary layer on a plate with a normal shock wave of low intensity has been constructed in various studies [1–4] under the assumption that the averaged velocity of the particles in the boundary layer in front of the interaction region satisfies a logarithmic law. In the present paper a different approach to this problem is proposed based on a power law of the velocity in the undisturbed boundary layer. The obtained results give different estimates for not only the sizes of the characteristic flow regions in the interaction region but also for the shock intensity leading to boundary layer separation.
