At hypersonic speeds, complexities occur when the gases interact with the surface of the vehicle, such as boundary layers and shock waves. Researchers in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at The ...

At hypersonic speeds, complexities occur when the gases interact with the surface of the vehicle such as boundary layers and shock waves. Researchers were able to observe new disturbances in ...

Hypersonic flight, with speeds exceeding Mach 5, pushes the boundaries of engineering. But as vehicles slice through the atmosphere at these incredible velocities, complex interactions occur between ...

View of the cone junction of a simulated flow field. In the image labeled as A, B and C are the locations of the conical shock, wavy separation line and the discontinuity in the circular shape. At ...
