Abstract
Experimental stability studies were conducted in the transition region from laminar to turbulent flow in wakes of slender wedges and a flat plate at Mach number 6. As in low-speed flat plate wakes, transition from laminar to turbulent flow may be divided into a linear and a nonlinear instability region. Inviscid linear stability theory predicts well the growth of fluctuations and amplitude distribution in the linear region. In the nonlinear region similarities with low-speed wakes exist. Characteristic persisting peaks in the power spectra are observed. Based on these peak frequencies a nearly universal Strouhal number of fb_0/u∞ = 0.3 was found for both incompressible and hypersonic wake flows. A theoretical approach to predict the development of mean flow and flow fluctuations in the nonlinear region as employed by Ko, Kubota, and Lees in slender body low-speed wakes appears equally applicable for hypersonic wakes.
