A high -order shock -fitting, finite -difference, direct - numerical -simulation (DNS) Navier -Stokes computer code has been under development. The code has b een developed specifically as a tool for investigating the attachment -line and crossflow boundary layer transition mechanisms associated with supersonic/ hypersonic airflows past swept/tapered wing geometries. This paper briefly introduces the importance o f studying the fundamental attachment -line and crossflow vortice swept -wing boundary layer instabilities mechanisms and discusses the reasons for approaching the problem using DNS simulations. Preliminary results from several DNS simulations of Mach 5.1 ai rflow about various parabolic cross -section wing leading edge geometries, differing in leading edge sweep angle and wing taper ratio, will be shown. Also to be shown are initial results from unsteady receptivity simulations where the mean flow solution is excited by a standing acoustic or vorticity wave introduced in the freestream ahead of the bow shock created in front of a swept parabolic leading edge in supersonic flow. GENERAL INTRODUCTION For the supersonic/ hypersonic air -vehicle designer being able to predict accurately using analytical or computational methods the laminar -turbulent boundary layer (B.L.) transition locations about practical 3 -D geometries is extremely desirable. Skin friction drag and surface heating rates are two important paramete rs which need to be predicted accurately, the first for range performance considerations and the second to insure vehicle safety by designing an appropriate thermal protection system capable of handling the intense surface heating, which yet will be light enough not to impact the vehicles usable payload very much. Both the skin friction and the surface heating rates are dependent on the type of boundary layer near the vehicles surface. A laminar boundary layer produces less skin friction and lower surface h eating rates than a turbulent boundary layer.
