Abstract

Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) was utilized to calculate hypersonic flow over an isolated roughness element. Two separate data-driven methods were employed to identify the least-stable global flow eigenmode downstream of the roughness element, revealing a connection between oscillations present in the shock layer, detached shear layer, and vortical structures behind the roughness. Furthermore, significant oscillations were observed in the cross-flow velocity component of the eigenmode. The analysis also demonstrated the impact of the shock layer on the least stable eigenmode of the flow.
