Porous bleed systems are a common technique to control shock-/boundary-layer interactions and/or supersonic boundary layers. However, the influence of various design parameters is still unknown.

In order to be able to judge the effectiveness of transition induction in WP-2, reference flow cases were planned in WP-1.

In high speed flow, the existence of shock waves most often entails either drag increase or efficiency losses. A major cause of performance degradation is the interaction of the shock with a boundary layer. Then complex phenomena occur which contributes to increase friction losses, especially if the shock is strong enough to separate the boundary l...
