Abstract
Aspects of transition mechanisms on a 14° sharp-nosed ogive cylinder at Mach 6 are elucidated by considering linear and nonlinear disturbance evolution of freestream stochastic and wave packet forcing at different locations downstream of the ogive-cylinder junction. The spectral response of the stochastic forcing displays favorable agreement with experimental observations from Air Force Research Laboratory on which the configuration is based. Intermittent wave packets are generated from small-amplitude continuous freestream pressure forcing. Linear wave packet evolution reveals that Mack modes are the dominant primary instabilities, followed by relatively weaker first-mode waves. The nonlinear wavepacket displays a three-legged wall pressure perturbation signature, which is traced to spanwise curvature effects, and fundamental resonance is the dominant secondary instability mechanism. At higher amplitudes of excitation, weak signatures of subharmonic and oblique resonance phenomena are identified. Downstream placement of the small-amplitude disturbance diminishes amplification of first-mode waves; however, with high-amplitude forcing, the location of actuation does not significantly vary the disturbance evolution signature or the secondary instability mechanisms.
