Abstract:
Recent events including deliberate attacks and accidental explosions have highlighted the need for greater research in structural response to blast loading. One of the primary research focuses has been on the prevention of progressive collapse of structures. The response of vertical load transferring members, such as columns, is of particular importance to progressive collapse prevention. In order to understand and predict the behaviour of the global structure during and after a blast loading event, a greater understanding of column behaviour must be developed.

The need for better understanding of the low-frequency unsteadiness observed in shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interactions has been driving research in this area for several decades. This work investigates the interaction between an impinging oblique shock and a supersonic turbulent boundary layer via large-eddy simulations. Special care is taken at the inlet in order to avoid introducing artificial low-frequency modes that could affect the interaction. All simulations cover extensive integration times to allow for a spectral analysis at the low frequencies of interest. The simulations b

However, they are challenged by limited delivery. Thus, more efficient strategies are continually being sought.
