Stability of axisymmetric boundary layers on sharp cones at hypersonic Mach numbers

摘要: The stability of sharp-cone boundary layers at zero angle attack is investigated. Standard linear theory used to perform a numerical study an edge Mach number M(e) 6.8 normal-mode characteristics on adiabatic-wall cone with special reference the conditions experiment Stetson et al. (1983). Comparisons calculations experimental measurements bring out major areas disagreement which remain be resolved even in this simple case. Finally, series both and flat-plate N factors 4.5, 5.8, relation between transition flat plate based theory.
