Abstract

The study of laminar, shock boundary layer interactions is performed using direct simulation Monte Carlo and linear stability theory for Edney type IV flows over a double wedge and a double cone. The high-fidelity time accurate simulations are shown to characterize the complex shock interactions of such flows as well as their unsteadiness. Comparison of bow shock oscillations and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities are found to be consistent with earlier values in the literature.
