Transition to turbulence in hypersonic flow
Abstract
An outline of the project and recent progress toward the study of transition in hypersonic boundary layers is given. Aspects of the numerical method and the results of test computations are presented. At present the laminar flows over a flat plate have been computed for M less than or equal to 5.
