(2022-08-23)Spatial BiGlobal (SBG) theory was used to study boundary-layer transition on a hypersonic finned cone. A new solver, BLAST, has been developed to apply the equations in a nonorthogonal manner, which extends its applicability ...
-
(2021-08-02)There are significant challenges involved in the design of hypersonic vehicles/projectiles, one of them being the fluid dynamics on the surface. The fluid dynamics can affect the thermal load, structural load and handling ...
-
(2010-10-12)High-speed high Reynolds number boundary layer flows with mechanical non-equilibrium effects have numerous practical applications; examples include access-to-space ascent, re-entry and descent, and military hypersonic ...
-
(2023-06-01)A primary challenge inhibiting hypersonic flight is the inability of current methods to adequately predict the thermal loading in hypersonic flight. Key to solving this problem is understanding the boundary layer around ...

(2021-07-27)In order to expand the capabilities of Texas A&M University’s Hypervelocity Expansion Tunnel to include a reflected shock tunnel mode of operation, a comparison study between axisymmetric and planar nozzles at varying Mach ...
-
(2023-04-19)High-fidelity computational fluid dynamics simulations are imperative to understanding the complex physics of hypersonic flight. Of the many complex flow fields in hypersonic flows, Mach stems are a particular area of ...
-
(2021-07-22)The BOundary Layer Turbulence (BOLT-II) flight experiment proposed by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) is a joint collaboration between academia, industry, and government partners to advance the understanding ...
-
(2022-12-09)Efficient high-speed air breathing propulsion is a key enabling technology for robust long distance hypersonic flight. However, the physics that drive the design of these propulsion systems was extremely complex with a ...
-
(2015-05-14)Recent years have witnessed the linear and nonlinear parabolized stability equations (PSE) become a quintessential component toward understanding boundary-layer laminarto-turbulent transition. Because of the abundant ...
-
(2013-05-15)The purpose of the current study was to answer several questions related to hypersonic, low Reynolds number, turbulent boundary layers, of which available data related to turbulence quantities is scarce. To that end, a ...
