Effects of slight nose bluntness and roughness on boundary-layer transition in supersonic flows

It is the purpose of this paper to report an investigation concerning certain factors affecting transition from laminar to turbulent flow in boundary layers. The objectives of the investigation were to clarify further the effects of very small degrees of leading-edge bluntness, and to devise a means...

Zusammenfassung:It is the purpose of this paper to report an investigation concerning certain factors affecting transition from laminar to turbulent flow in boundary layers. The objectives of the investigation were to clarify further the effects of very small degrees of leading-edge bluntness, and to devise a means for estimating the effect of roughness on boundary-layer transition.
