Heat-transfer gauge arrays for identifying spot initiation in hypersonic transitional boundary layers

The initiation and growth of turbulent spots in transitional hypersonic boundary layers can influence the transition length and the distribution of heat transfer and skin friction through the transitional region. There is debate in the literature about whether spots initiate in a small band at the s...
