A study of dense-gas effects on the stability of compressible boundary-layer flows is
conducted. From the laminar similarity solution, the temperature variations are small due to …

In this paper, a systematic study on the supersonic boundary-layer modal stability for a
slightly rarefied gas is conducted by considering velocity slip and temperature jump effects …

In comparing their results with those of Mack, Wazzan et al.[Phys. Fluids 2 7, 331 (1984)]
found major differences regarding the effect of free‐stream Mach number on viscous …

The influence of surface cooling on compressible boundary-layer instability is discussed
theoretically for both viscous and inviscid modes, at high Reynolds numbers, with related …

The effect of a pressure gradient on the first mode of instability of compressible subsonic and
supersonic boundary layers is investigated using linear stability theory. A pressure gradient …

Helmholtz decomposition of velocity perturbations is performed in conjunction with linear
stability analysis to examine the effects of flow-thermodynamics interactions on the stability …

High‐temperature effects alter the physical and transport properties of a gas, air in particular,
due to vibrational excitation and gas dissociation, and thus the chemical reactions have to …

Prediction of heat load on the surface of vehicles (re-) entering a planetary atmosphere is
important for heat-shield design. Turbulent flow induces a much higher heating in …

The effect of heat transfer on the spatial stability of compressible boundary layers is
investigated using a formulation that accounts for variable-fluid properties of both the mean …

The secondary instability mechanisms in a two‐dimensional (2‐D) compressible boundary
layer over a flat plate have been examined for a range of Mach numbers up to 4.5. For …
