Abstract

Hypersonic flows over an axisymmetric double cone was considered at M=6 for several Reynolds numbers. For the higher Reynolds number cases the flow is observed to be highly unsteady with a large separation bubble and several shocks. As the Reynolds number is reduced this unsteadiness disappears, as expected. A comparison with a M=16 case at the same Reynolds number from our earlier study showed that for M=6 case the flowfields are much more complex with a larger separation bubble and unsteady shock structures.
