Numerical Simulations of hypersonic boundary-layer instability with localized roughness

چکیده
The effect of localized roughness on a Ma=4.8 boundary-layer and its instability is investigated by means of unsteady direct numerical simulations. The occurrence of special flow features, such as shocks, boundary-layer separation zones, streamwise vortices and streamwise streaks behind a three-dimensional square-shaped roughness element are discussed. In order to investigate the convective instability of the boundary layer downstream of the roughness, the steady-state flow field with roughness element has been perturbed with a small-amplitude perturbation of fixed frequency upstream of the element. The transformation of a first-mode instability wave upstream of the roughness into a strongly growing localized perturbation downstream of the square-shaped roughness is observed. Preliminary results for an oblique roughness are compared to results obtained for the square-shaped roughness.

Experimental and numerical results have shown that two-dimensional surface roughness can stabilize a hypersonic boundary layer dominated by second-mode instability.

To these ends, a new high-order shock-fitting method that includes thermochemical nonequilibrium a...

The receptivity of a hypersonic boundary layer to three-dimensional wall perturbations is investigated in this paper by numerical simulations. The work is motivated by Tumin’s [1] theoretical analysis on the receptivity of compressible boundary layers to three-dimensional wall perturbations with the help of the biorthogonal eigenfunction system. Specifically, receptivity processes of a Mach 5.9...
متن کاملReal-Gas and Surface-Ablation Effects on Hypersonic Boundary-Layer Instability over a Blunt Cone
There has been little research into surface-ablation effects on hypersonic boundary-layer instability, and the current understanding of real-gas effects on hypersonic boundary-layer instability still contains uncertainties. The objective of the current work was to analyze the hypersonic boundary-layer transition process using linear-stability theory, inwhich surface ablation, aswell as real-gas...
