Secondary Gortler instability in hypersonic boundary layers is studied in this paper. The nonlinear development of Gortler vortices distorts the mean flow and leads highly inflectional profiles not only in wall normal direction but also in spanwise direction which induce the secondary instability. In the break-down process of Gortler vortices, unsteady fluctuations appear in the vortices. Such process is through a secondary instability. In this paper, secondary instability of hypersonic Gortler vortices is studied using two-dimensional linear stability analysis and numerical simulations. A two-dimensional linear stability code is developed in order to find secondary modes of hypersonic Gortler vortices. The mode obtained by linear stability analysis is imposed at the entrance of the computational domain. Subsequent development of the secondary mode is carried out by solving the full Navier-Stokes equations. We investigate secondary Gortler instabilities in hypersonic boundary layers.
