03.1 - Aerodynamics – CFD Methods and ValidationRESEARCH OF THE HYPERSONIC BOUNDARY LAYER INSTABILITIES AND TRANSITION WITH THERMAL-CHEMICAL NON-EQUILIBRIUM EFFECTSX.L. Chen¹, F. Song¹; ¹Tsinghua University, China In this paper, both linear stability theory and parabolized stability equation are used to study the effects of thermal-chemical non-equilibrium on hypersonic flat-plate boundary layer instability. The non-parallelism effects and nonlinear interactions on the instability are explored combined with the thermal-chemical non-equilibrium effects. |
