Effect of surface temperature strips on the evolution of supersonic and hypersonic Mack modes: Asymptotic theory and numerical results

Lei Zhao et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of local surface temperature strips on oncoming inviscid Mack instability in supersonic or hypersonic boundary layers, revealing that temperature strips play an equivalent role as roughness elements but with more complex interactions with Mack modes. The research findings suggest that heating strips enhance or suppress Mack modes depending on frequencies relative to a critical value, while cooling strips have the opposite effect. The asymptotic predictions align closely with Harmonic linearized Navier-Stokes calculations and direct numerical simulations, especially at low wall temperatures.

On boundary-layer receptivity to entropy waves

A. Ruban et al.

Summary: This paper explores the generation of Tollmien-Schlichting waves in the boundary layer exposed to entropy waves on a wing's surface. The study reveals the importance of entropy waves in receptivity, especially in high speed subsonic flows. Nonlinearity significantly enhances receptivity, particularly when encountering wall roughness.

An asymptotic theory of the roughness impact on inviscid Mack modes in supersonic/hypersonic boundary layers

Ming Dong et al.

Summary: This paper develops a large-Reynolds-number asymptotic theory to describe the impact of a localized roughness element on inviscid first and second Mack modes in supersonic or hypersonic boundary layers. It is found that the roughness affects the oscillation frequency of the Mack modes, and identifies the critical frequency at which the roughness transitions from stabilizing to destabilizing effects. An improved asymptotic theory is also proposed to enhance the accuracy of predictions, confirmed through numerical simulations even with significant roughness height compared to the boundary layer thickness.

Effect of Two-Dimensional Short Rectangular Indentations on Hypersonic Boundary-Layer Transition

Ming Dong et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the intrinsic mechanisms by which two-dimensional surface indentations influence the laminar-turbulent transition in hypersonic boundary layers. The study reveals that both local scattering and receptivity effects increase with indentation depth for shallow configurations, but decrease for deep configurations. This phenomenon is related to the topological structure of the base flow inside the indentations.

Nonlinear transition mechanism on a blunt cone at Mach 6: oblique breakdown

Andrew B. Hartman et al.

Summary: Direct numerical simulations were conducted on a blunt cone at Mach 5.9, revealing a strong 'linear' instability in the entropy-layer region. Nonlinear breakdown simulations showed that linearly unstable oblique disturbance waves can lead to rapid breakdown and complete laminar-turbulent transition in the entropy layer.

Acoustic-roughness receptivity in subsonic boundary-layer flows over aerofoils

Henrique Raposo et al.

Summary: The study investigates the generation of viscous-inviscid instability through scattering of an acoustic wave by localized and distributed roughness on an aerofoil, using a time-harmonic compressible adjoint linearized Navier-Stokes approach. The research models the inviscid acoustic field external to the aerofoil boundary layer and shows that the externally imposed acoustic pressure field drives the acoustic boundary layer, affecting the amplitudes of acoustic-roughness receptivity. Parametric studies reveal significant non-parallel effects and higher receptivity amplitudes for distributed roughness at lower angles of attack.
