This paper presents an experimental study of shock wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction induced by a sharp fin placed normal to the side wall of the wind tunnel. The experiments were carried out in a 8×10cmcm
2 supersonic wind tunnel at free stream Mach numbers of 1.98 and 2.48. Corresponding free stream REYNOLDS numbers per meter were 4.1×10
7 and 2.7×10
7 for the former case and 4.1×10
7 for the latter case. A set of 3 fin models with wedge type leading edge of 20°, 30° and 40° half angle were used in this study. Surface static pressure measurements, oil flow studies and SCHLIEREN photographs of the flow field were made. It was found that, the separation shock angle and the pressure ratio though separation are insensitive to the shape of fin's leading edge. The length of the upstream influence point and the separation point measured along the centerline from the fin's leading edge were found to increase linearly with the increase of wedge angle. Furthermore, with the increase of wedge angle, the pressure distribution became qualitatively similar to the hemi-cylindrical blunt fin case.
