Abstract
High-temperature effects need to be considered for a better design of hypersonic and reentry vehicles. They affect both the boundary layer flow and its flow transition, whose primary stages can be investigated through modal stability analysis. In this work, physical and numerical tools for high-temperature flows are presented and the efficiency of the new developed in-house boundary layer and stability solvers is tested. Specially, we focus on the stability of a flat plate flow in thermochemical non-equilibrium through an investigation of growth rates under the influence of various flow parameters.
