Abstract
We present experimental results obtained in a turbulent boundary layer at a Mach number of 2.3 impinged by an oblique shock wave. Strong unsteadiness is developed in the interaction, involving several frequency ranges which can extend over two orders of magnitude. In this paper, attention is focused on the links between the low-frequency shock motions and the separation bubble, in particular phase relationships are evaluated. An interpretation based on a simple scheme of the streamwise evolution of the instantaneous pressure is proposed. As it is mainly based on the pressure signal properties inside the region of the shock oscillation, it may be expected that it will still be relevant for different configurations of shock-induced separation as compression ramp, blunt bodies, or over expanded nozzles.
