| Description | Receptivity and stability of supersonic boundary layers over a 5-degree straight cone with a blunt tip are numerically investigated at a free stream Mach number of 3.5 and at a high Reynolds number of 106/inch. Both the steady and unsteady solutions are obtained by solving the full Navier-Stokes equations using the 5th-order accurate weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme for space discretization and using third-order total-variation-diminishing (TVD) Runge-Kutta scheme for time integration. The linear stability results showed that bluntness has less stabilizing effects on the stability of boundary layers over cones than on flat plates and wedges. The unsteady simulations of the interaction of plane threedimensional acoustic waves with the cone showed that the modulation of wavelength and the generation of instability waves first occurred near the leading edge in the plane where the constant acoustic phase lines are perpendicular to the cone axis. Further downstream, this instability region spreads in the azimuthal direction from this plane. |
