Computation and Stability Analysis of Laminar Flow over a Blunt Cone in Hypersonic Flow

Esfahanian, Vahid

Abstract Details

1991, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Aero/Astro Engineering.
The computation and stability of laminar flow over a 7° half-angle blunt cone at M8 = 8 are investigated. The basic flow is obtained by solving the thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations using the Beam and Warming method. The linear-stability equations are derived in body-fitted orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. The usual asymptotic boundary conditions for the disturbance equations are re¬placed with linearized Rankine-Hugoniot jump conditions. The disturbance equa-tions are solved using spectral collocation and 4th-order finite-difference compact method. The results of the present computation are compared to those of the STDS experiment.
