The Effect Of Three-Dimensional Freestream Disturbances On The Supersonic Flow Past A Wedge, Peter W. Duck, D. Glenn Lasseigne, M. Y. Hussaini

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications

The interaction between a shock wave (attached to a wedge) and small amplitude, three-dimensional disturbances of a uniform, supersonic, freestream flow are investigated. The paper extends the two-dimensional study of Duck et al. [P W. Duck, D. G. Lasseigne, and M. Y. Hussaini, ''On the interaction between the shock wave attached to a wedge and freestream disturbances,'' Theor. Comput. Fluid Dyn. 7, 119 (1995) (also ICASE Report No. 93-61)] through the use of vector potentials, which render the problem tractable by the same techniques as in the two-dimensional case, in particular by expansion of the solution by means of …
