Hypersonic shock wave transitional boundary layer interactions can result in significantly
greater peak surface heat transfer than laminar or turbulent interactions. Consequently, the …

Infrared thermography is a measurement technique that enables to obtain non intrusive
measurements of surface temperatures. One of the interesting features of this technique is its …

A high-fidelity simulation of the shock/transitional boundary layer interaction caused by a
axisymmetrical compression ramp is performed at a free stream Mach number of 5 and a …

Strong interactions of shock waves with boundary layers lead to flow separations and
enhanced heat transfer rates. When the approaching boundary layer is hypersonic and …

Heat transfer measurements in hypersonic wind tunnels are particularly challenging when
dealing with fully three-dimensional geometries and/or flows with high spatial temperature …

Transitional shockwave/boundary layer interactions (SBLI) are studied experimentally.
Experiments are conducted on a hollow-cylinder flare model in the R2Ch blowdown facility …

Global surface pressure measurements have been carried out on a 7° half-angle circular
cone/flare model at nominally zero angle of attack using pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) …

Time-resolved surface temperature measurements have been carried out on a 7° half-angle
circular cone/flare model in the Air Force Research Laboratory's Mach-6 Ludwieg Tube …

A high-fidelity simulation of the massively separated shock/transitional boundary layer
interaction caused by a 15-degrees axisymmetrical compression ramp is performed at a free …

The laminar-to-turbulent transition is a primordial input for trajectory and conceptional
design of hypersonic objects. Indeed, transition at hypersonic speeds causes large changes …
