Three-dimensional interference of oblique shock with boundary and high-entropy layers (M=6, free boundary layer transition). Distribution of a nondimensional heat-transfer coefficient (Stanton number) over the plate surface near a 15 degree wedge depends on the plate leading edge bluntness radius r. Mach number M=6, Reynolds number Re∞L=20×106, total pressure Ро=85 bar, total temperature То=650 К, induced boundary layer transition.
