Direct Numerical Simulation of Microramp-Controlled Shock–Boundary-Layer Interactions: Effects of Ramp Size and Location

What is it about?

This study uses direct numerical simulations to show how tiny devices called microramps can help control airflow disruptions caused by shock waves on high-speed aircraft surfaces. Larger microramps reduce flow separation and improve surface airflow, with their position having only a small impact on effectiveness.
