An experimental study on roughness-induced transition of a hypersonic boundary-layer over a blunted cylindrical body is conducted in a gun tunnel (M∞=8.9, Re∞/m=47.4x10 6 ). Discrete roughness elements shorter than the boundary layer thickness are used to induce the transition of the incoming laminar flow and different tests are performed to obtain time-resolved surface heat transfer measurements in the transverse and axial directions downstream, as well as pressure measurements in the axial direction. Both ‘diamond’ and ‘square’ planform roughness elements are considered. The elements are placed at two different axial locations: on the blunted nose region far upstream of the measurement location, thus allowing for a long development of disturbances, and on the cylindrical region just ahead of the sensors, to document the flow immediately downstream of the element. Elements ranging from h/d=0.03 to 0.58 are employed to study the effect of roughness height. The passage of the disturbed flow through a well-established laminar separation region induced by a flare is subsequently investigated to assess the effect of adverse pressure gradients on the roughness-disturbed flow. The results suggest an intensification of turbulent fluctuations in the wake of the element as its height is increased. The effect of the adverse pressure gradients is to further enhance the growth of the roughness-induced disturbances. For roughness well submerged in the boundary layer, the effect of planform geometry is found to be insignificant.
