The effects of nose bluntness on the entropy-layer stabilities in hypersonic flows over blunt cones and wedges are investigated by using linear stability theory and numerical simulation. The entropy-layer instabilities of blunt wedges are stronger than those of blunt cones. The unstable mode frequency of the entropy layer decreases with increasing bluntness due to a thicker entropy layer. Larger bluntness is effective at widening the region of the unstable mode downstream, creating more opportunities for entropy-layer disturbances to force the triggering of boundary layer transition. Numerical simulations show that the entropy-layer mode can excite the first mode of the boundary layer.
