Laminar Flow Control in Hypersonic Quiet Nozzle Using Wall Suction
Abstract
A fundamental challenge in hypersonics S&T is the replication of flight conditions in a ground test facility. Specifically, one seeks high enthalpy test conditions in a quiet environment. At high enthalpy, boundary layer transition is difficult to avoid, and the proposed effort will take a fresh look at the use of surface suction to remove the boundary layer and delay the onset of laminar-to-turbulent transition. The effort is motivated by recent advances in materials development and manufacturing techniques.
