What are limits of applicability
for PSE in complex flows?
When do non-modal
instabilities become
important?

Approach / Benefits
• Generate flowfields with spanwise nonuniformity
• Measure stability characteristics and compare to
PSE, search for regions where PSE may be
inadequate
• Benefits – increased confidence with PSE, improved
vehicle design

Last Year’s Results
• HIFiRE-5
– Measured fluctuating surface pressures in TAMU ACE wind tunnel
– Mach 6 results similar to Purdue noisy, but lower amplitude
– Strong effect of Mach number and tunnel conditions on observed instabilities
• HIFiRE-1 high AoA transition
– 2nd mode observed on cone at AoA in tunnel
– Indented transition front observed in flight, not in ground test
– Wind tunnel transition at AoA biased to lower Reynolds compared to flight, but not as much as a=0
– Nosetip steps probably not contributor to this
• Additional results (not briefed)
– Leading-edge trip on HIFiRE-5 flight correlated with Redk
– Refined AoA & heating for HIFiRE-5 flight

Summary
• HIFiRE-5 stability
– New IR transition measurement capability
– Traveling cross flow coexists with stationary
– Traveling detectable before stationary
– Before breakdown, phase speed and wave angle predicted
well with LPSE
• Cone at AoA / bluntness analysis
– Correlating N-factor drops when Retr drops
• HIFiRE flight analysis
– Tunnel - calibrated Reynolds stress model works well for
flight SBLI
– HIFiRE-5 pressure instrumentation as FADS works well

Technical Challenges
• Amplitude-based transition prediction
– Atmospheric disturbance measurement
– Surface quality prediction
– Wind tunnel disturbance measurement
• Bluntness transition mechanisms
– Implications for transition control (If you mediate one transition mechanism, what pops up next to replace it?)
– Implications for transition prediction (Do we clearly know where our methods are applicable and inapplicable?)
