Abstract

Based on the Rayleigh-scattering visualization of the development of second-mode waves (Zhang and Lee in J Vis 20:7–12, 2017), in this article, we present the particle image velocimetry measurement results of the second-mode waves in hypersonic boundary layer on a flared cone with zero angle of attack. To solve the problem that it is difficult for the particles to enter the laminar boundary layer, we made a slot on the model wall to introduce the particles directly into the boundary layer. In hypersonic quiet wind tunnel, we obtain the velocity and dilatation distributions of the second mode and experimentally confirm that the second mode is an acoustic, longitudinal wave.
