In hypersonic flow, the shock waves often merge with the viscous boundary layer.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was addressed to me during a job interview.My question is from Hypersonic Flow in division Transonic and Hypersonic Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) True

To elaborate: In CASE of hypersonic flow, the SHOCK layer is very thin and the shock lies CLOSE to the surface of the body. This OFTEN leads to shock waves merging with the viscous boundary layer which is present at the surface.
