Study of Transition to Turbulence in a Supersonic Boundary Layer Using DNS and Transition Prediction

The current understanding of supersonic boundary layer transition is reviewed in this paper. The material focuses on bypass transition in a plane supersonic boundary layer. Recent advances in DNS and engineering prediction of transition are discussed. It is shown that streaky structures appear in su...
