Theoretical developments in hypersonic turbulent boundary layers with application to friction and heat transfer estimation

Abstract

This project is focused on improving our theoretical description of high-speed turbulent boundary layers and to use this to develop more accurate engineering prediction tools. The work is centered around the development of near-wall scaling theory and the use of similarity analysis in the presence of non-zero pressure gradients. The project will also involve the creation of several direct numerical simulation data sets for validation at high Mach numbers.
