DESCRIPTION:The interaction of a shock wave with a turbulent boundary laye
 r is one of the fundamental building blocks of compressible flows. It is p
 articularly important to understand under what circumstances a shock wave 
 can cause flow separation. Traditionally it has been believed that this is
  primarily determined by the shock Mach number with a mild secondary influ
 ence of the incoming boundary layer shape factor\, but the data gathered o
 ver the last 50 years shows a remarkable amount of scatter.\nIn this talk 
 I will discuss whether the geometry of the flowfield (in particular the co
 nfinement due to limited wind tunnel size) may play a role and explain the
  scatter seen in experimental data. Some ideas for the physics of this 'co
 rner effect' will be proposed and the wider implications will be discussed
 .
