Ph.D. (Engg): On the nature of transonic buffet in a finite span wing
OnlineTransonic buffet, or shock oscillations, is a pre-stall aerodynamic instability, caused by shock boundary layer interaction, of the flow over a wing. This aerodynamic instability occurs at critical combinations of transonic Mach number and angle of attack. Shock oscillations cause vibrations of the wing and is known as buffeting. Buffeting may cause fatigue of the […]
