内容摘要：This talk reviews recent studies on shock wave/laminar boundary layer interactions (SLBLI) over compression ramps and double cones that are conducted at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and RWTH Aachen University. Three aspects are considered: (1) The instability intrinsic to shock-induced separated flows and the laminar-turbulent transition associated with the intrinsic instability; (2) Convective instabilities that contribute to destabilizing hypersonic SLBLI and trigger transition to turbulence; (3) Effects of high- enthalpy flow and leading-edge bluntness on compression-ramp flows and double-cone flows.
