We investigate shock wave/boundary-layer interaction and resulting heat transfer in
hypervelocity double wedge flows. An expansion tube is used to generate air and nitrogen
flows with stagnation enthalpies ranging from 2.1-8.0 MJ/kg and Mach numbers from 4-7.
The range of free stream conditions were selected to investigate the impact of thermo-
chemical effects by i) systematically varying the chemical composition from nitrogen to air
while maintaining constant the stagnation enthalpy or the Mach number, and ii) varying
the stagnation enthalpy. Flow features are visualized with schlieren photography, and heat
transfer is measured using fast response coaxial thermocouples. Data are presented for
both nitrogen and air test conditions with eight cases in total. Current results indicate
significantly different behavior in flows with enthalpies as low as 4 MJ/kg between air and
nitrogen test conditions.

I. Introduction
The flow over a double wedge model is a canonical problem in the study of hypersonic shock wave-
boundary layer interactions. Flow field computations are very sensitive to the choice of thermochemical
model,
1
and thus make the problem ideal for model verification. The flow field contains complex, but
coupled phenomena, including: boundary layer separation, shock and shear layers interaction, and shock
impingement. These are illustrated in Figure 1.

Some wave
interactions have been omitted for clarity.
Double wedge and cone configurations have been studied computationally and experimentally by numer-
ous researchers, particularly in nitrogen flows. Olejniczak
et al.
1
performed simulations and experiments in
nitrogen, and found that aft body heat transfer levels could be matched, but not the peak heating location,
and the fore body separation heating could be matched, but not the separation zone size. A concurrent
paper by Olejniczak
et al.

focused on the different types of shock interactions that occur over the double
wedge. They studied the classical shock interactions characterized by Edney
4
and identified a new type of
interaction with a regular shock reflection from the triple point to the fore body, rather than the aft body.
Olejniczak
et al.

extended their previous work to investigate the effect of different thermochemical models,
but still found discrepancies in the separation zone size or peak heating location.
Perhaps the most comprehensive work relevant to our study is that of Davis and Sturtevant,
2
who
investigated separation zone length scaling and heat transfer theoretically, computationally, and numerically
in a hypersonic nitrogen flow. Building on triple deck theory
6–8
they derived a partial scaling for the
separation zone with a new parameter Λ

shown in Equation 1. In a previous work,

we have investigated
the application of this scaling to the flow over a double cone model, as well as the current double wedge
experiments.

The above studies considered nitrogen flows to simplify the thermochemical modeling. In air flows,
simulations and experiments show considerable discrepancies at high enthalpies (
>

5 MJ/kg) with signifi-
cant thermochemical activity, in spite of good agreement at lower enthalpies.
10–12
For example, simulations
predict a decrease in the separation length with increasing freestream enthalpy, but this is not observed ex-
perimentally.

Simulations
overpredict the amount of freestream NO by a factor of three, which is outside the experimental error.
In the present work, we extend these previous studies by utilizing an expansion tube facility to access
a broad range of test conditions. The range of test conditions allows the degree to which thermochemical

effects influence the flow field to be tuned by changing the freestream chemical composition from nitrogen to
air while keeping other parameters, such as Mach number or stagnation enthalpy constant. The stagnation
enthalpy can be varied from 2.1 to 8.8 MJ/kg The expansion tube is able to produce thermochemically
“clean” flows with minimal freestream dissociation, as the gas is never stagnated and is accelerated by an
unsteady expansion fan, rather than a nozzle. More details on the facility are given below.
II. Experimental
Experiments are performed in the Hypervelocity Expansion Tube (HET) at the University of Illinois.
The HET is a 9.14m long expansion tube facility, consisting of a driver, driven, and accelerator section
all with an internal diameter of 150mm. Facility capabilities include: operating at Mach numbers of 3.5-
7.5 and achieving stagnation enthalpies of 2.1-8.8 MJ/kg. Further details of facility instrumentation and
operation can be found in Dufrene
et al
.
15
Four test conditions at various enthalpies are utilized for this
study; parameters are caclulated using 1-D unsteady gas dynamics, Table 1. Test conditions are identified
by the Mach number and stagnation enthalpy. Each of the four test conditions shown can be achieved using
both air and nitrogen, resulting in eight different test cases in total. Changes in freestream parameters are
less than 0.5% between nitrogen and air.

(

Three of the stream wise locations have two gauges to asses any spanwise variation. The spacing of gauges
varies along the model and gauges are clustered around areas of interest (boundary layer separation, shock
boundary layer interaction, etc...). The instrumented model is shown in Figure 2. Error bars on the heat
transfer data due to gauge uncertainties are 8 %.
III. Results
III.A. Schlieren Images
Sample schlieren images of flow over the double wedge are shown in Figures 3(a)-(d) for four test conditions:
M5
4 in nitrogen and air, and M7
8 in nitrogen and air. Both of the M7
8 experiments appear to show
generally laminar flow, while the M5
4 images appear to have large regions of fluctuating flow. This is
consistent with the fact that the unit Reynolds number of the the M5
4 test condition is nearly an order
of magnitude larger that that of the M7
8 conditions, Table 1. Both sets of images show at least one
distinct triple point with a shear layer and transverse wave. The wave interaction observed in the M5
4
test conditions appear more complex than in the M7
8 conditions with a possible secondary triple point

appearing. The shear layer turns upward to align with the flow above the second wedge, and in the case of
the higher Reynolds number condition, it is still visible some distance after the compression. It appears that
the intersection of the reattachment shock with the shear layer is the mechanism for turning the shear layer
upwards along the aft wedge.
The effects of thermochemistry are very apparent in the images. A distinct region with natural flow
luminescence indicating a region of relatively hot gas in behind the bow shock can be observed in Figure 3(c).
This is in contrast to the region on the other side of the shear layer which contains relatively cold, high
speed flow. Both sets of test conditions exhibit bow shocks which reduced shock standoff distance for the
air conditions in comparison to nitrogen. This agrees with normal shock equilibrium calculations using the
SD Toolbox
17
and
Cantera
,
18
which predict higher post-shock densities for the air conditions. In the M5
4
nitrogen flow, Figure 3(a), we do not observe a wave emanating near the corner to turn the flow up the
aft portion of the model, as is evident in images for the air flow, Figure 3(b). The departure from laminar
behavior is observed further upstream in the case of the nitrogen, when compared to the air. Lastly, the
regions of largest flow luminescence in these images both appear to occur between gauges
L
and
M
. For
the case of the the M7
8 air condition, the shock impingement on the aft wedge and region of largest flow
luminescence are seen to move noticeably downstream, compared to the nitrogen. This behavior is most
likely coupled with the corresponding shift in the triple point location.
Polar calculations of the triple point structure and wave interactions in the different conditions have been
performed, building on our previous studies.
19,20
Calculations are performed for a direct oblique-bow shock
interaction. Two examples of these plots are shown in Figure 4 for the M7
2 and the M7
8 test conditions.
Both frozen (Fr.) and equilibrium (Eq.) solutions are presented.
Not surprisingly, the equilibrium calculation and the frozen calculations do not differ significantly at
the 2 MJ/kg enthalpy condition. The equilibrium effects seen in the 8 MJ/kg case influence the polars in
two ways. First, in Figure 4(b), the post shock pressure for the case of strong shocks is reduced for the
equilibrium calculation, when compared with the frozen calculation. Equilibrium chemistry has the effect
of reducing the shear layer angle, compared with the frozen calculations. Calculations like these have been
done for every schlieren data set. Three features calculated are: the bow shock angle, the transmitted shock
angle, and the shear layer angle, and these are compared with experimental measurements.
In general, the best agreement between theory and experiment across all test conditions is with nitrogen
as a test gas. Of all the test conditions the best agreement with shock polar calculations is the M7
2 test
condition. The most disagreement between theory and experiment is the M4
3.6 condition. Error in the
transmitted shock angle is seen up to 50%, while at most for any other test condition they are 15%. This may
be a result of unsteady behavior. This condition also has the largest disagreement in the shear layer angle
as well. Time-resolved schlieren imaging experiments are in process to investigate potential unsteadiness

III.B. Heat Transfer Results
Using the fast response thermocouples discussed in Section II, heat transfer profiles are constructed over the
double wedge model for each of the eight different test conditions. Current capabilities limit data acquisition
to 10 channels. As there are 19 gauges on the model, two shots are required to capture all the points. At
least three full data sets are obtained for each test condition to assess repeatability. In total
∼
60 experiments
were carried out establish working gauges, as well as to profile all of the test conditions. Heat transfer values
are averaged after a steady test time has been established; each transient heat transfer trace is inspected
individually to ensure the useful test time. In addition to averages, the standard deviation of heat flux is
also recorded.
In the following section, each set of heat transfer data are presented along with the schlieren images
shown in Section III.A. The error bars in the heat transfer are
±
8% of the absolute value. The location of
the hinge is shown by a vertical dashed line, and
x
location is normalized by the length of the first wedge
face L. (The x axis is in freestream flow direction, thus, the hinge is not located at
x/L
=1). Predictions for
laminar flat plate boundary layer theory are presented for reference. Davis and Sturtevant found reasonable
agreement between flat plate and wedge forebody heat transfer measurements.
III.B.1. M7
2 Test Condition
Heat transfer data for nitrogen and air along with the corresponding schlieren images are shown in Fig-
ures 5(a) and (b). In Figure 5(c) both heat transfer distributions are overlaid. The forward wedge experi-
ences laminar heat transfer behavior on the section upstream of separation. Possibly due to low signal to
noise ratio (nearly an order of magnitude smaller than any other test condition), there is large variability
in the length separation zone. On the aft face there is a sudden increase in heat transfer, and peak values
are
∼
1.3 MW/m
2
at gauge M. This corresponds roughly with the location of shock impingement on the aft
face. The combined overlay of both data sets in Figure 5(c) shows that, as expected, the heat transfer does
not differ significantly between air and nitrogen flows.
III.B.2. M4
3.6 Test Condition
Heat transfer data for the nitrogen and air along with the corresponding schlieren images are shown in
Figures 6(a) and (b). In Figure 6(c) both heat transfer distributions are overlaid. On the forward wedge,
there is an immediate departure from laminar heating profiles. Additionally, very little difference is observed
between the two test conditions. Data from gauge G is missing due to damage to the gauge. In both Figures,
between gauges F and H, there is a large differential between the heating values (an increase of approximately
a factor of two). This may be due to the the shock interactions that are seen to occur in this area in the
images. Peak heating on the aft wedge is approximately 13 MW/m
2
for the nitrogen, and approximately
14 MW/m
2
for air, both occur at gauge M. In general on the aft wedge, the heat transfer rates in air are
slightly higher than those in nitrogen. This is especially true in the area of peak heating.
III.B.3. M5
4 Test Condition
Figures 7(a) and (b) show the heat transfer for the nitrogen and air along with the corresponding schlieren
images. In Figure 7(c) heat transfer distribution for nitrogen and air are overlaid. On the forward wedge,
laminar heat transfer behavior is observed in both gases. As the boundary layer behavior deviates from
the laminar condition in the images, the heat transfer is seen to increase as expected. As the Reynolds
number is smaller than the M4
3.6 case, the increase occurs further downstream. Interestingly, the nitrogen
experiences a much larger heating value at gauge G, when compared with the air. This may be due to two
things: a lack of gauge resolution may not be detecting the actual peak heat transfer (the location may have
been shifted for air), or some sort of interaction between the shock and boundary layer unique to nitrogen
may be occurring. On the aft end of the wedge, peak heating for the nitrogen is seen to occur at gauge M
and have a value of
∼
10.5 MW/m
2
, and in air is
∼
13 MW/m
2
. As in the M4
3.6 case, slighly higher heating
values are seen in the case of the air on the aft cone in the vicinity of shock interaction with the surface.
From the images it is observed that the shock interaction occurs just downstream of gauge L, which is in
agreement with the heat transfer profiles.

8 Test Condition
Heat transfer data for the nitrogen and air along with the corresponding schlieren images for the highest
Mach number and enthalpy condition are shown in Figures 8(a) and (b). In Figure 8(c) both heat transfer
profiles are overlaid. On the upstream end of the forward wedges, the heat transfer corresponds reasonably
well with laminar predictions. This is the only case where a slight difference is seen with respect to the two
gases for laminar heating rates. The air values are consistently higher than the nitrogen, but are still within
the error bars of the measurements. A distinct separation zone is seen in each plot as a decrease in heat
transfer after
x/L
=0.6. In the nitrogen case, the separation zone appears to begin at gauge F, and in the air
case at gauge G. Perhaps the most noticeable difference between the two cases is the level of peak heating
of the aft wedge. In nitrogen, the peak heating value is 8.5 MW/m
2
, while in air it is 13.5 MW/m
2
. In
air, a dip in the heat transfer is observed just prior to the peak heating location. This may be the result
of a secondary separation zone that lies upstream due to shock impingement, although this is difficult to
discern due to the luminescence in the image. There is a considerable amount of variation in the data, not
unexpectedly in the area of shock impingement on the aft wedge.
IV. Conclusions
We investigate the hypersonic flows of nitrogen and air over a double wedge configuration at eight
test conditions with stagnation enthalpies of 2 to 8 MJ/kg. The shock wave-boundary layer interaction is
investigated using single frame schlieren photography and fast response thermocouples to measure surface
heat transfer.
At the 2 MJ/kg enthalpy condition, no appreciable difference between the air and nitrogen heat transfer
distribution is observed over the entire model, as expected. Additionally, in the 3.6 MJ/kg condition, very
little difference between the air and nitrogen conditions is observed. This condition also exhibits a deviation
from the expected laminar heat transfer levels almost immediately on the first wedge surface in both gases.
Distinct differences between the air and nitrogen flows are apparent as low as 4 MJ/kg (M5
4 condition),
indicating that gas thermochemistry plays a role at these enthalpies. For this case, thermochemical effects
seem to be minimal toward the leading edge of the the front wedge where a laminar boundary layer is
observed. As expected, these effects are most prominent in shock wave/boundary layer interaction regions.
Aft wedge heating rates are systematically higher in air than in nitrogen in the region of shock impingement.
We observe that in the case of the nitrogen flow, a departure from laminar boundary layer behavior occurs
slightly upstream in comparison to the air flow.
Lastly, in the 8 MJ/kg test condition significant differences between the air and nitrogen are observed.
Heat transfer levels on the forward wedge are slightly higher in air compared with nitrogen, although still
within error bars. On the aft wedge peak heating is noticeably higher on in the air condition when compared
with the nitrogen condition, again in the region of shock interaction.
