Our study focuses on the application of micro-ramp vortex generator in hypersonic shock wave/boundary layer interaction. The elaborate structures of wake vortices are obtained. We reveal that the heating flux and friction will be significantly reduced due to the alteration of the flow patterns, which caused by vortical structures generated by the micro-ramp vortex generator.
