Towards a Mechanism-Based Procedure for Predicting Boundary-Layer Transition on Slender Models with Highly Swept

Abstract

The proposed effort will examine swept shock/boundary layer interactions occurring on conical bodies with highly swept fins. A wide variety of parameters will be consider including, for example, fin leading edge sweep angle, fin leading edge radius, and cone nose radius. The effort will be a joint experimental-computational exploration of the interaction parameter space. The experimental effort will look at the interaction in a Mach 6 quiet tunnel, and the computational effort will examine three-dimensional modal instabilities in the flow.
