Computational Analysis of High Enthalpy Effects on 2nd Mode Disturbances

Abstract

This effort is focused on using linear stability analysis (PSE) and Navier-Stokes solvers to study the effect of non-equilibrium effects, present in high-enthalpy flows, on 2nd mode disturbances and transition. The effort is concentrated on flows over slender cones with air, CO2, and mixtures of those two gases as the test gases.
