Abstract:
A comprehensive study of stability and receptivity of hypersonic boundary layers has been carried out. The main results of the project 1 Mathematical method of the multimode decomposition for three-dimensional perturbations in compressible boundary layers has been developed. The method provides analysis of experimental and computational results for modes of discrete and continuous spectra. 2 Theory of boundary-layer receptivity was developed for roughness-induced perturbations in incompressible and compressible boundary layers. 3 The transient growth phenomenon in compressible boundary layers over flat plate, sphere, and sharp cone has been studied. The work was accompanied by development of solvers for these geometries.
