Direct numerical simulation of a supersonic turbulent boundary layer subject to adverse pressure gradient induced by external successive compression waves

A freestream Mach 2.9 flat-plate supersonic turbulent boundary layer subject to a “pure” adverse pressure gradient (APG) without the impact of wall curvatures is studied by direct numerical simulation and compared with a benchmark flow with zero pressure gradient. Due to APG, the streamwise velocity...
