Can You Trip Hypersonic Boundary Layers? Podcast 195

Premier Aerodynamics Podcast

The Hyper X was a hypersonic aircraft, but its scramjet suffered for less than ideal inlet flow because shocks formed on the upstream ramps and that threatened to separate the laminar boundary layer. To solve this problem, researchers thought about tripping the hypersonic boundary layer, but is it possible? Find out here in this podcast!
