Numerical simulations of 2-D supersonic and hypersonic laminar Shock-Wave/
Boundary-Layer Interactions (SBLIs) were carried out by solving the Navier-Stokes (NS)
equations using a compressible flow code over a wide range of Mach numbers and shock
strengths. The results obtained at Mach 2.0 and 7.73 were compared with experimental
data. In addition, the numerical data were further analyzed using correlation laws derived
by previous researchers based on the free interaction concept, extended here to higher
Mach numbers. The results indicate that this concept is valid for separated laminar hypersonic
flows with SBLIs. For interference heating, the correlation technique based on the
well-established power law relationship between peak heating and peak pressures yielded
encouraging results consistent with other correlations for laminar interference heating at
hypersonic speeds.
