Global modal/non-modal analysis of high-enthalpy Martian entry vehicles
Adrián Antón-Álvarez, Adrián Lozano-Durán
We analyze laminar-to-turbulent transition over a blunt capsule representative of Martian entry at Mach 26 using global modal and transient-growth analyses about a thermochemical b…

Bow-shock instability in entry, descent, and landing vehicles under high-enthalpy conditions
Adrián Antón-Álvarez, Adrián Lozano-Durán
Laminar--turbulent transition remains a major uncertainty in the aerothermal design of entry, descent, and landing (EDL) vehicles. We show that, under high-enthalpy Mars-entry cond…

HYMOR: An open-source package for global modal, non-modal, and receptivity analysis in high-enthalpy hypersonic vehicles
Adrián Antón-Álvarez, Adrián Lozano-Durán
We present HYMOR (HYpersonic MOdal/non-modal, and Receptivity), an open-source computational framework for the linear stability analysis of high-enthalpy hypersonic flows. The tool…
