Effects of boundary layer transition on the unsteady SWBLI past the forebody and intake at hypersonic speed

Key Points

• SWBLI is significantly affected by boundary layer transition, impacting its stability.
• The transition influences the flow dynamics around the forebody and intake at hypersonic speeds.
• Observational analysis focused on hypersonic conditions to study boundary layer effects.
• Results highlight the importance of understanding boundary layer transitions for hypersonic vehicle design.
