Left: shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions in a Mach 7 flow over a ouble-wedge configuration. Right: a bimodal energy distribution function of particles in the bow shock. Molecular collisions between the low energy bin A and high energy bin B cause low-frequency fluctuations having Strouhal number on the order of 0.012.
