Transition location can be a significant source of uncertainty in high-speed vehicle drag and heating predictions. Also, the efficacy of transition control depends largely on where transition is predicted. Because of facility noise, transition measurements in ground-test facilities are generally not reliable predictors of flight performance and we must rely on computational approaches for design for flight. The program at Arizona State University to investigate stability and transition of hypersonic boundary-layer flows has been ongoing for several years. In this final report we compile the significant theoretical and computational results from this program. The research has progressed through several logical steps with increasing complexity: Linear stability theory with the effects of chemistry and bow shock on a sharp circular cone at zero incidence with a PNS basic state. Examine 3-D effects on a sharp elliptic cone at zero incidence with a PNS basic state. Include nose bluntness (entropy layer and curved shock) plus nonequilibrium chemistry on a circular cone in the nonlinear Stability Equations with a Navier-Stokes basic state. Provide a new crossflow Reynolds number including compressibility and wall-temperature effects for use in conceptual design.

The objective of this research project is to compare our numerical simulation solutions with available experimental or theoretical results on hypersonic boundary layer receptivity and stability; and to conduct extensive DNS studies on the flow mechanisms of hypersonic boundary layer receptivity and stability. During the three-year period, we have conducted extensive DNS studies on the receptivity of hypersonic boundary layer flows over a sharp wedge, a flat plate, a blunt cone, and the FRESH aeroshell. DNS studies are compared with Stetson's 1984 stability experiment on Mach 7.99 flow over a blunt cone, and Maslov's leading-edge receptivity experiment on Mach 5.92 flow over a flat plate. Our numerical studies have been validated to be of high accuracy and led to further understanding of hypersonic boundary layer receptivity mechanism. Such understanding can lead to better tools for the prediction and control of high-speed boundary layer transition.

Roughness induced boundary layer transition has been one of the main research topics for the hypersonic community over the last half- century. The major interest into the understanding of this phenomenon relies in the key role played by transition prediction methods on hypersonic vehicles thermal protection system (TPS) design. Several boundary layer transition predictions methods have been developed but a review of these transition criteria reveals a lack a physics associated with these engineering methods together with a lack of reliable flight data. The work presented in this thesis is a first step trying to fill this gap. First, the physical mechanisms associated with hypersonic roughness induced transition are investigated both experimentally and numerically. Secondly, an hypersonic roughness induced transition experiment has been developed for the EXPERT mission, aiming to obtain high quality flight data.
