Instability measurements of an axisymmetric, laminar separation bubble were made over a
sharp cone-cylinder-flare with a flare angle under hypersonic quiet flow. Two distinct …

This article reviews the hypersonic laminar-turbulent boundary layer transition over a blunt
circular cone under support of the National Key Research and Development Program of …

Experiments are performed to investigate the effect of nose-tip bluntness on the instability
mechanisms leading to boundary-layer transition on a, the schlieren visualization region is …

Numerical and experimental studies have demonstrated laminar–turbulent transition in
hypersonic boundary layers over sharp cones via the modal growth of planar Mack-mode …

The existing database of transition measurements in hypersonic ground facilities has
established that, as the nose-tip bluntness is increased, the onset of boundary-layer …

This study investigates a novel method to control hypersonic boundary layer transition using
a combined local cooling and local metasurface treatment. The method's effectiveness was …

Computations are performed to investigate the convective and global boundary-layer
instabilities over a sharp cone–cylinder–flare model at zero-degree angle of attack. The …

Hypersonic boundary-layer instability disturbance and transition experiments were
performed in the Air Force Research Laboratory Mach-6 Ludwieg Tube on a 1-m-long ogive …

High-speed laminar-to-turbulent transition over blunt bodies is relevant to a variety of
aerodynamic applications. Experiments have observed that beyond a critical value of the …

While nose bluntness is known to have a large impact on the stability of hypersonic vehicles,
its influence on the freestream receptivity process has not been fully characterized for a wide …
