Nitric oxide planar laser-induced fluorescence (NO PLIF) imaging at repetition rates as high as 1MHz is demonstrated in the NASA Langley 31 in. Mach 10 hypersonic wind tunnel …
We study the transition of a Mach 6 laminar boundary layer due to an isolated cylindrical roughness element using large-scale direct numerical simulations (DNS). Three flow …
Shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions (SWBLIs) are critical phenomena in the design of high-speed vehicles as they exhibit inherent unsteadiness that can damage airframes and …
The transition of the boundary-layer state from laminar to turbulent on a 7° sharp cone in Mach 10 flow is measured using several high-speed optical diagnostics capable of time …
THE ability to perform quantitative velocity measurements in a hypersonic flow can be complicated by the extreme dynamic and thermodynamic conditions present in hypersonic …

We study and compare instability mechanisms of a Mach 5.65 laminar boundary layer tripped by an isolated diamond-shaped trip and by an array of diamond-shaped trips using …
Boundary layer transition over isolated roughness elements is investigated in the incompressible flow regime using tomographic PIV. Four different geometries (cylinder …
