Funded Activity Summary

Hypervelocity Roughness-Induced Laminar-Turbulent Transition for Advanced Scramjet Flow Control. Scramjet technology is set to make air-breathing flight beyond five times the speed of sound a reality. At such speeds, complex aerodynamic phenomena are likely to cause flow separation in the scramjet, hence significantly affecting its operability. This project will establish the applicability of discrete surface micro-roughness elements to induce the laminar-turbulent transition of hypervelocity boundary layers, with the purpose of energising the surface flow entering the engine so that it can sustain higher adverse pressure gradients without separating. This project will undertake a targeted ground test program to characterise the physical mechanisms of hypervelocity roughness-induced laminar-turbulent transition.
