Understanding the boundary layer transition and the influence of surface roughness in hypersonic flows is critical for advancing aerospace design and safety. At these extreme speeds, the interplay ...

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, ...

The aim is to make aviation in Europe climate-neutral by 2050. An important part of this is reducing the drag of future aircraft, with the wings playing a major role. The wings not only generate the ...

Ice surfaces have a thin layer of water below its melting temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. Such premelting phenomenon is important for skating and snowflake growth. Similarly, liquid often ...

The boundary layer, a tiny layer on the surface of a body in a flowing fluid, such as an airplane wing in the air, is of paramount importance for the future of flight. Just over 100 years ago, Ludwig ...
