This paper presents an experimental study of shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interaction induced by a semicone placed on the floor of the wind tunnel. The experiments were carried out in a 8×10cmcm
2 supersonic wind tunnel at free stream Mach number of 1.98. The Reynolds number per metre in the test section was 4.01×10
7. The semicone models with half angles of 20°, 30°, 40°, 50° and 60° were used in this study. The ratio of the height to the boundary layer thickness was greater than 2. Surface static pressure measurements, oil flow studies and Schlieren photographs of the flow field were made. It was found that, the separation shock angle is insensitive to cone angle. The length of the separation point measured along the centerline from the apex of the semicone was found to increase linearly with the increase of cone angle and the shape of the separation lines fall into a single curve irrespective of cone angle. Furthermore, the pressure distribution of the flat plate became qualitatively sfmilar to the hemicylindrical fin until the plateau region in the spanwise extent of y/d=0.5.
