A local shock wave can destroy the evolution of supersonic combustion in a scramjet. The Reynolds number correlation of the systems of internal shock waves produced in such turbulent free shear layers are presently noted to imply that a direct connection with turbulence intensity exists. By way of this connection, as well as the adjustability of the Reynolds number, opportunities emerge for the control of turbulent shocklets; this will in turn allow control of their influence on supersonic mixing.
