High-Altitude Turbulence and Particulate Measurements Near the BOLT-II Flight Trajectory

Abstract

The BOLT and BOLT-II flight experiments provide a unique opportunity for collaboration between major AFRL-AFOSR projects. The BOLT challenge is to predict how boundary layer transition happens in flight on a geometry that the academic community has never seen before and which has multiple instability modes interacting. BOLT II–in memory of Mike Holden is similar to BOLT but is instead more generally studying turbulence computationally, in ground facilities and in flight. In both cases, a complete dataset must include an estimate of the atmospheric conditions during the flight experiment.
