At the same time‚ in turbulent flows‚ turbulence production is enhanced which amplifies the viscous dissipation leading to aggravated performance losses. In addition‚ shock-induced separation most often results in large unsteadiness which can damage the vehicle structure or‚ at least‚ severely

Mainly large particles such as boulders carried by traction or saltation during high-energy conditions. There is little deposition in the
