Experimental study of the effect of nose bluntness on hypersonic boundary-layer transition
Abstract
It is proposed to perform wind tunnel experiments to study the effect of nose bluntness on hypersonic boundary-layer transition on the frustum of a 7-degree cone. The proposed experiments will be conducted in the Mach 5 Ludwieg Tube at the University of Arizona, a conventional facility with a planned quiet nozzle upgrade that will enable direct comparison between the results in conventional and quiet flows. These experiments represent a follow-up to the experiments of Stetson (1983) and Jewell et al. (2018) and the computations of Paredes et al. (2019b) and Hartman et al. (2020).
