A series of experiments have been conducted to study hypersonic boundary-layer transition over 7° cones at angle of attack in the Purdue Boeing/AFOSR Mach-6 Quiet Tunnel. The temperature-sensitive-paint (TSP) and oil-flow techniques were used to observe boundarylayer transition and crossflow vortices on the cones. Laminar flow was observed on sharp and spherically-blunt cones at 6° angle-of-attack in quiet flow, while transition to turbulence was observed on the cones in noisy flow, indicating a marked effect of tunnel noise on transition. A yawside-forward transition front was observed on a 6%-blunt cone in noisy flow. Crossflow vortices were observed with both TSP and oil flow under noisy conditions in the turbulent boundary layer on a sharp cone. TSP was also used to observe crossflow vortices in quiet flow. The vortices on both a sharp and a 6%-blunt cone in quiet flow were similar to those seen on the sharp cone in noisy flow. An array of roughness elements at x = 2 inches (axially) with a spacing of 9° on a yawed sharp cone in noisy flow influenced transition that was apparently induced by the crossflow instability, as predicted by NASALangley computations. No influence of the roughness array was observed in quiet flow.
