Wall-Modeled LES For High-Speed Transitional Boundary Layers Interacting With Incident Shock Waves

Abstract

High speeds required to gain air and space superiority for the AF, typically involve flight operation of air vehicles in supersonic or hypersonic regimes. Consistent with this goal, this effort aims to 1) increase fundamental understanding of transition and turbulence in high-speed boundary layers and their interactions with shock waves by making use of high-fidelity DNS; and 2) envision and test physics-based, computationally-efficient parameter-free LES wall models for natural transition and turbulence in high-speed boundary layers and their interactions with incident shock waves.
