In this paper, a direct numerical simulation is performed to study the wake structures of a micro-ramp vortex generator in the hypersonic flow. The whole evolution process of vortical structures of the wake flow has been carefully analyzed. First, the scaling laws for the profiles of mean velocities and fluctuations have been explored. The results show that the scaling laws based on the supersonic experiments can be directly applied in the hypersonic wake flow with a few discrepancies near the wall. Then, the detailed structures of arc-like vortices are examined, and the legs of vortices are found not being connected with each other. No full vortex ring is detected in the present simulation. At the downstream of the wake flow, the intensity of arc-like vortices has been augmented when passing the separation shock. The results reveal that a vortex train composed of arc-like vortices and shear layer is formed. With the help of the proper orthogonal decomposition, the impact of arc-like vortices on the heat flux has been revealed. The alternative positive and negative strips in the streamwise direction suggest the impinging process of arc-like vortices. The frequencies of the corresponding modes further prove that the strips are the footprint of arc-like vortices.
