Title: Shock interactions with a dense-gas wall layer

Abstract

Described here are experiments and calculations of the interaction of a planar shock with a dense-gas layer located on the floor of the shock tube test section. The shock front deposited vorticity in the layer by the baroclynic mechanism. The wall shear layer was unstable and rapidly evolved into a turbulent boundary layer with a wide spectrum of mixing scales. Density effects dominated the dynamics in the wall region.
