  the development of supersonic compressors, supersonic
diffusers, and high-speed aircraft points to the increasing importance
of the interaction between shock waves and boundary
layers .
  the experimental work reported here is intended to (1) provide
a better understanding of the nature of the shock-boundarylayer
interaction, (2) serve as a guide and stimulus to theoretical
work, and (3) develop an empirical method for predicting the
effects of the interaction .
  experiments were performed on the reflection of an oblique
shock from a boundary layer on a flat surface at a mach number
of 2.05 .  the effects of shock strength and boundary-layer regime
were explored .
  the results are in the form of schlieren photographs, constantdensity
contours found from interferometer photographs, and
static pressure distributions at the plate surface .
