    Abstract

    This paper concerns the interaction of an impinging shock wave with a supersonic turbulent boundary layer over several distinct and permanently deformed surfaces, resulting in differences in the shock–boundary-layer interaction and the surface acoustic loading. High-order numerical simulations featuring two-dimensional surface deformations typically encountered in experiments are performed. The deformation amplitudes are up to half the incoming turbulent boundary-layer thickness. The results show that the high-pressure region about the shock impingement is significantly altered and can become narrower or wider depending on the local surface inclination of the deformed panel mode. The surface curvature is found to not significantly affect the separation and reattachment locations of the recirculation bubble. The power spectrum analysis of the pressure fluctuations along the panel’s midspan, where the surface attains the largest deformation amplitude, exhibits a rich and varied response. The pressure power spectrum is amplified in all of the surface deformation modes examined, with the magnitude of the amplification varying in the frequency domain, depending on the location and mode.
