Abstract

Laminar-turbulent transition phenomena in compressible flat-plate boundary layers are investigated by direct numerical simulations using the complete Navier-Stokes equations for three-dimensional compressible flows. The numerical method allows for investigations of spatially developing, three-dimensional disturbance waves in a growing two-dimensional boundary layer. In this paper, results from simulations for two different types of breakdown to turbulence in a flat-plate boundary layer at M∞ =1.6 are presented.
