Book Description
In high speed flight, the state of the boundary layer can strongly influence the design of vehicles through its effect on skin friction drag and aerodynamic heating. The major mechanisms causing boundary layer transition on high speed vehicles are briefly reviewed and some empirical relations from the unclassified literature are given for the transition Reynolds numbers.

Secondary Instabilities of Görtler Vortices in High-Speed Boundary Layers
Author: Jie Ren
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9789811349553
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
This thesis first reveals the mechanism of Görtler instabilities and then demonstrates how transitions at hypersonic flows can be effectively controlled (either promoted or suppressed) with Görtler or Klebanoff modes. It focuses on understanding and controlling flow transitions from mild laminar to fully turbulent flows at high speeds—aspects that have become crucial at the dawn of an incredible era, in which hypersonic vehicles are becoming available. Once this occurs, it will be possible to travel from Beijing to Los Angeles within just 2 hours, and we will all live in a genuinely global village—and not just virtually, but physically. Görtler instabilities have often been used to promote flow transition in hypersonic vehicles. However, how Görtler instabilities are excited and how they evolve in hypersonic flows are questions that have yet to be answered.

Review of the Effect of Distributed Surface Roughness on Boundary-layer Transition
Author: A. L. Braslow
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Boundary layer
Languages : en
Pages : 13
Book Description
A discussion is presented on the transition phenomena associated with distributed roughness, a correlation of three-dimensional roughness effects at both subsonic and supersonic speeds, and the effect of laminar boundary-layer stability as influenced by heat transfer, pressure gradients, and boundary-layer control on the sensitivity of laminar flow to distributed roughness. Results indicate that the transition-triggering mechanism of three-dimensionaltype surface roughness appears to be the same at supersonic and subsonic speeds. In either case, a Reynolds number based on the height of the roughness and the local flow conditions at the top of the roughness can be used to predict with reasonable accuracy the height of threedimensional roughness required to cause premature transition. Neither the three-dimensional roughness Reynolds number nor the lateral spread of turbulence behind the roughness is changed to any important extent by increasing the laminar boundary-layer stability to theoretically small disturbances. Therefore, for a given stream Mach number and Reynolds number, surface cooling, boundary-layer suction, or a favorable pressure gradient will, in the presence of three-dimensional roughness, promote rather than delay transition.
