University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics Seminar Series: Instabilities in the Wake of Roughness on a Flat Plate in a Quiet Supersonic Tunnel

Abstract: Roughness-induced transition is an unavoidable reality in practical high-speed vehicles. Typical prediction of transition due to roughness include algebraic correlations and, more recently, semi-empirical methods. In the NASA Langley Research Center Supersonic Low Disturbance Tunnel, a Mach 3.5 quiet tunnel, several transition experiments have been performed in the past decade to better understand the […]
