Abstract
LAMINAR-TURBULENT transition in hypersonic boundary layers remains a challenging subject. This is especially true of the hypervelocity regime, in which an intriguing phenomenon is the possible damping of second-mode disturbances by chemical and vibrational nonequilibrium processes. To generate flows with sufficiently high enthalpy to investigate such effects, the use of shock-tunnel facilities is necessary; furthermore, it is now generally accepted that direct measurements of the instability mechanisms active within the boundary layer, together with a characterization of the freestream disturbance environment, are required, as simple measurements of transition locations can lead to ambiguous conclusions. However, as difficult as the accurate measurement of instability waves in conventional hypersonic facilities can be, in shock tunnels it is appreciably more so. For identical unit Reynolds numbers, the higher stagnation temperature in a shock tunnel means that the dominant second-mode disturbances lie at even higher frequencies (typically hundreds of kHz or higher); moreover, because of the destructive testing environment, hot-wire techniques, a staple for instability measurements in conventional tunnels, cannot be used. Fast-response pressure transducers are an obvious alternative, but recent experiments have highlighted the challenging nature of interpreting data from mechanically sensitive sensors in the high-noise environment of a shock tunnel, especially without accompanying stability computations. Measurements with recently developed atomic-layer thermopile (ALTP) heat-flux sensors show promise, though their use has yet to be demonstrated in shocktunnel facilities.
