TLDR
The location of transition onset predicted from the simulation including the freestream spectrum, receptivity, and the linear and the weakly nonlinear evolutions yields a solution close to the measured onset location for the sharp cone.
Abstract
Boundary-layer transition in hypersonic flows over a straight cone can be predicted using measured freestream spectra, receptivity, and threshold values for the wall-pressure fluctuations at the tr...

Direct numerical simulations of hypersonic boundary-layer transition for a flared cone: fundamental breakdown

TL;DR: In this paper, direct numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the laminar-turbulent transition for a flared cone at Mach 6 at zero angle of attack at the Boeing/AFOSR Mach 6 Quiet Tunnel (BAM6QT) at Purdue University.

Nose-Tip Bluntness Effects on Transition at Hypersonic Speeds

TL;DR: 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 transition over a circular c....

Investigation of mach 10 boundary layer stability of sharp cones at angle-of-attack, part 1: Experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, the boundary-layer transition and stability characteristics of sharp cones at angle-of-attack were investigated with measurements at Mach 10 in the Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 on a 1.5m long, 7-deg cone at unit Reynolds numbers between 1.8 and 15 million per meter.

Essentially Non-Oscillatory and Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory Schemes for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the construction, analysis, and application of ENO and WENO schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws and related Hamilton-Jacobi equations, where the key idea lies at the approximation level, where a nonlinear adaptive procedure is used to automatically choose the locally smoothest stencil, hence avoiding crossing discontinuities in the interpolation procedure as much as possible.

Wind Tunnel Experiments Relating to Supersonic and Hypersonic Boundary-Layer Transition

TL;DR: In this paper, hot-wire anemometry is used to study the origin and growth of "natural" fluctuations in zero pressure-gradient boundary layers for several Mach numbers between 1.6 and 8.5.

On hypersonic boundary-layer stability

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of experimental hypersonic boundary-layer stability results obtained using hot-wire anemometry techniques is presented, where data were obtained at a freestream Mach number of 8 on watercooled and uncooled 7-degree half angle cones and on a water-cooled cylinder.
