This paper describes a new numerical study of the flat plate shock/boundary
-layer interaction by using a weighted high-resolution, total variation dim
inishing (TVD) scheme. The key difference of this study from former studies
is that new secondary vortices in the separated region have been found for
the first time, with increasing the impinging shock angle or the free-stre
am Mach number. Copyright (C) 2000 John Wiley Br Sons, Ltd.
