The shock/shock interference phenomena and shock wave/boundary layer interactions in hypersonic flight are reviewed. The characteristic flow features are described, and the mechanisms for extremely high local heat transfer rates are emphasized. A classical example of interaction heating on the X-15 hypersonic vehicle is reviewed, and the damage caused by the unexpected aerodynamic heating is cited. These results serve as a strong reminder of the importance of shock impingement and interference heating cautions in hypersonic vehicle design, development, test, and evaluation.
