This paper deals with di¨erent engineering correlations for prediction of transitional hypersonic §ows both for transition onset prediction and transition zone description. In spite of recent progress in simulation of stability equations and direct methods, these approaches remain main tool in everyday design practice. Very close approach is using correlations incorporated in the Reynolds-averaged NavierStokes (RANS) equations, e. g., γRe θ transition model. But this model has some limitations when applied to supersonic §ows and some approaches for subduing these limitations are considered. Also, the e¨ect of local heating/cooling on laminarturbulent transition (LTT) on sharp cone is analyzed on the basis of both algebraic correlations and RANS models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
