Abstract: Shock wave/boundary layer interaction (SWBLI) is a ubiquitous phenomenon encountered in hypersonic flow field, and a flow separation induced by SWBLI leads to the performance degradation of hypersonic inlet. Detached-eddy simulation model and finite volume method are used with adaptive mesh refinement to simulate the flow separation controlled by micro-ramps, which is induced by SWBLIs in hypersonic flow for Ma=7. The control effect of micro-ramps on flow separation is discussed based on flow velocity, pressure gradient, transformed form factor and total pressure loss, and the control mechanism of double micro-ramps is investigated. The research results indicate that the reciprocal induction between streamwise vortex pairs generated by two micro-ramps accelerates the entrainment of vortex pairs generated by each micro-ramp, consequently the effect of two micro-ramps for eliminating the separation bubble is better than that of a single micro-ramp. As the height of micro-ramps decrease, the total pressure loss shows a trend of first decrease and then increase. The effects of streamwise vortex intensity and form resistance are synthetically discussed. The micro-ramps with 35%δ′ in height (separation bubble thickness) have the best effect on controlling the separation bubble, by which the separation bubble is decreased to disappear the reversed flow, and the peak of transformed form factor and the total pressure loss are reduced by about 86% and 1.9%, respectively.
