Presented are the results of a combined experimental and theoretical study of a three-dimensional supersonic turbulent boundary layer. The three-dimensionality is introduced by an isentmpic 20 degree compression in contrast to the more usual shock-generated compression, as in sharp fm interactions. Experimental data taken thus far include the surface pressure field, surface flow visualization, and, for selected locations, yaw angle, Pitot pressure, and static pressure. Comparisons with computational results show encouraging agreement.
