Direct numerical simulation of a hypersonic transitional boundary layer at suborbital enthalpies

A Mach-10 hypersonic boundary layer of air overriding a cold, isothermal, non-catalytic flat wall, and with a stagnation enthalpy of $21.6\ \textrm {MJ}\ \textrm {kg}^{-1}$, is analysed using direct numerical simulations. The calculations include multicomponent transport, equilibrium vibrational exc...
