Popis: This study focuses on the effect of a sweep angle between the upstream mean flow direction and the shock plane normal in a canonical oblique shock wave/boundary layer interaction. We study a configuration based on the experiments of Bo et al.(2012): an incident shock impinges on a turbulent boundary layer developing at free stream Mach number M = 2:7 and a Reynolds number Re_theta = 3200. The sweep angle is implemented by adding a spanwise velocity component (crossflow) at the inflow and enforcing periodicity conditions on the side boundaries. Several sweep angles are investigated and compared to a canonical unswept case. A viscosity is selected for each case in an effort to keep a constant Req across the whole range of sweep angles. The mean flow structure is analyzed, showing a strongly skewed flow around the separation zone that increases in size compared to a reference unswept case. Pressure loads on the wall surface are also higher for swept cases; and the characteristic low-frequencies of the flow separation also slightly increase.
