The state and properties of boundary layer (BL) flows are very important issues for the design and operation of high performance air- and ground- vehicles as well as for many industrial flow ...

The study of hypersonic boundary layer transition and instability encompasses the complex processes by which a thin, near-wall flow region shifts from a smooth, laminar state to a highly chaotic, ...

If there are no shear stresses present, there is no fluid deformation, and the behavior of a fluid is described by the bulk modulus relating the pressure and the compression strain. In the presence of ...
