【报告简介】 
Strategies to delay transition or keep laminar boundary layers around air vehicles can result in smaller drag, lower surface heating, and higher fuel efficiency. However, the success of control strategies relies on a fundamental understanding of transition mechanisms. In this talk, I will first discuss numerical simulations on the stability of a Mach 8 flow over a sharp wedge to wall blowing-suction. The results consistently show that the most unstable wave in hypersonic boundary layers at a specific frequency is only strongly excited when the blowing-suction actuator is located upstream of the corresponding synchronization point. Therefore, the synchronization point plays an important role in hypersonic boundary-layer stability. I will then discuss some results of numerical simulations on transition control of hypersonic boundary layers by using surface porous coating and surface roughness.
