Surface Curvature and Roughness Effects on Görtler Vortex Development in Hypersonic Flow

This work presents a computational and experimental investigation of surface roughness and concave curvature as control parameters on the development of Görtler vortices in hypersonic flow. Three-dimensional large eddy simulation (LES) was performed for two curvature cases using US3D, an unstructure...
