Theunsteady interaction of a moving shock wavewith nearly homogeneousand isotropic decaying compressible turbulence has been studied experimentally in a large-scale shock-tube facility by using rectangular grids of various sizes. The interaction has been investigated by measuring velocity, total pressure, and temperature inside thee owe eldandstaticpressureatthewalloftheshocktubewithinstrumentationoftemporalandspatialresolution. Attenuation of theshock wavestrength has been found to take placeas a result oftheinteraction with theturbulent e owe eld, which depends on the mesh size of the grid or its Reynolds number, the e ow Mach number, and the initial Mach number of the shock wave. Finer grids produce turbulence, which attenuates the shock wave more than coarse grids at the same Mach number. Amplie cation of pressure e uctuations after the interaction has been observed in all experiments, depending on grid size (initial turbulencelevel )and shock strength. Furthermore, this amplie cation is not the same through the whole range of wave numbers resolved. I. Introduction T RAVELINGshockwavesorexpansionwavescanbegenerated inside turbines or compressors of turbine engines as a result of unsteady e ow phenomena. These moving waves can interact with rotating or stationary blades, as well as with the e ow, and may result in phenomena that can affect the operation and performance of the engine. One of these phenomena is the interaction of passing shock waves with turbulence. Of particular interest to those studying turbomachinery is the interaction of traveling shock waves with freestream turbulence, which can be considered as nearly isotropic and nearly homogeneous. In general, interactions of shock waves with turbulent e ows are of great practical importance in external or internal aerodynamics of engineering applications because they considerably modify the e uid e eld by vorticity and entropy production and transport. PastworkthathasbeenrecentlyreviewedbyAndreopoulosetal. 1 hasshownthattheinteractionbetweentheshockwaveandturbulent e ow is mutual and that the coupling between them is very strong. Complex linear and nonlinear mechanisms are involved that can cause considerable changes in the structure of turbulence and its statistical properties and alter the dynamics of the shock wave motion. Amplie cation of velocity e uctuations and substantial changes in length scales are the most important outcomes of interactions of shock waves with turbulence. This indicates that such interactions may greatly affect mixing. The use of shock waves, for instance, has been proposed by Budzinski et al. 2 as means to enhance mixing
