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

This article reviews the hypersonic laminar-turbulent boundary layer transition over a blunt
circular cone under support of the National Key Research and Development Program of …

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 …

In the paper, the results of numerical modeling are presented of the 3D turbulent flows in a
channel with backward-facing step, and argon jets injected into the supersonic crossflow …

In this paper, we perform an asymptotic study of the effect of local surface temperature
(heating or cooling) strips on oncoming inviscid Mack instability in supersonic or hypersonic …

Hypersonic boundary-layer transition can be caused by many different mechanisms. This
research focuses on studying the growth and breakdown of the second-mode instability …

Realistic flight vehicles for reentry into the Earth's atmosphere are commonly similar to
blunted cones. The main reason for blunting a cone is to mitigate high heat loads at the …

Laminar-turbulent transition is crucially influenced by wall roughness. This paper develops a
numerical approach based on the harmonic linearized Navier-Stokes (HLNS) equations to …

The influence of surface roughness on transition to turbulence in a Mach 4.5 boundary layer
is studied using direct numerical simulations. Transition is initiated by the nonlinearly most …

Abstract The Tracking, Telemetering, and Command (TT&C) communication of spacecraft
faces severe limitations during reentry. The Electromagnetic (EM) propagation channel is …
