The influence of multiple interacting primary modes and mode representation on hypersonic boundary-layer stability and transition prediction.

Abstract

The current proposal aims to explore high speed bouncdary layer transition prediction through advanced physics-based understanding through new stability and transition prediction tools and methodologies. The focused objectives are: 1) assess the influence of multiple interacting primary modes on the hypersonic (and lower speed) laminar-turbulent transition problem; 2) reassess the appropriateness of a spectral representation in the spanwise direction of boundary-layer disturbances; 3) explore the use non-orthogonal decomposition techniques to identify "physically relevant" statistical modes.
