A symmetry-based length model for characterizing the hypersonic boundary layer transition on a slender cone at moderate incidence by Wei-Tao Bi, Zhou Wei, Ke-Xin Zheng, Zhen-Su She

“…It is shown that a proper setting of the multi-regime structure with three parameters (i.e. a transition center, an after-transition near-wall eddy length, and a transition width quantifying transition overshoot) yields an accurate description of the surface heat fluxes measured in wind tunnels. Uniformly good agreements between simulations and measurements are obtained from windward to leeward side of the cone, implying the validity of the multi-regime description of the transition independent of instability mechanisms. …”
