Simplification of a three-dimensional problem of a shock interacting with an arbitrary oriented vorticity wave to a two-dimensional problem by rotating the reference frame around the streamwise axis. Reproduced from Huete et al., Phys. Fluids 33, 086111 (2021) with the permission of AIP Publishing.

Hypersonic flight involves a variety of complex flow phenomena that directly impact the aerothermodynamic loading of high-speed vehicles. The turbulence encountered during a typical flight trajectory influences and interacts with the shock waves on and around the surface of a vehicle and its propulsion system, affecting both aerodynamic and power p...
