Abstract In supersonic flow the leading edge vortex of delta wings can encounter intersection by an oblique or a normal shock. The resulting interaction between the two influences the aerodynamic forces, in particular the lift, especially if vortex breakdown occurs. This problem was studied in an idealized form by assuming an isolated slender vortex being intersected by an oblique and a normal shock, respectively. The investigation was carried out in two coordinated companion studies, one using numerical solutions of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, and the other experimental techniques, i. e. flow visualization methods, and Laser-Doppler More >
