This article reviews stability and laminar-turbulent transition in high-speed boundary-layer
flows, emphasizing qualitative features of the disturbance spectrum leading to new …

The prediction of the laminar-turbulent transition of boundary layers is critically important to
the development of hypersonic vehicles because the transition has a first-order impact on …

The basic problems of transition in both incompressible and compressible boundary layers
are reviewed. Flow structures in low-speed transitional and developed turbulent boundary …

A laminar Mach 6 flat plate boundary layer is perturbed using three different types of
disturbances introduced through blowing and suction. The linear and nonlinear …

One of the effective approaches to simulate laminar-turbulent transition flows is based on
Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations. In this review article, the …

Understanding, modeling and control of the high-speed wall-bounded transition and
turbulence not only receive wide academic interests but also are vitally important for high …

We utilize resolvent and weakly nonlinear analyses in combination with direct numerical
simulations (DNS) to identify mechanisms for oblique transition in a Mach hypersonic flow …

Transition and turbulence production in a hypersonic boundary layer is investigated in the
Mach 6 wind tunnel at Peking University, using Rayleigh-scattering visualization, fast …

In this paper, we develop a large-Reynolds-number asymptotic theory to describe the impact
of a localised roughness element on oncoming inviscid first and second Mack modes in …

The development of disturbances in the boundary-layer transition (BoLT) flight experiment
flowfield is investigated using a recently developed “quiet direct numerical simulation (DNS)” …
