Abstract
The interaction of a plane oblique shock wave with a vortex system arising from flow separation at the edge of a dihedral model with an opening angle of 270° is examined. The shock generator, which is a thin plate, and the model are positioned at the same angle of attack of 16°. A downstream-expanding separation vortex is generated by the pressure difference between the upper and side faces of the model, while the shock wave incident from the generator causes extensive boundary-layer separation on the surface of the side face. The complex interaction between the shock-induced separated flow and the stalled flow leads to the formation of a cylindrical vortex detached from the surface.
