Surface instabilities in laminar compressible boundary layers with sublimation
Blaine Vollmer, Alberto Padovan, Daniel J. Bodony
Surface patterns on ablating materials are observed in high-speed ground and flight tests, but the mechanisms behind their formation are not known. In this paper, the origin of sur…
