Accurate prediction of hypersonic boundary-layer transition plays an important role in thermal protection system design of hypersonic vehicles.Restricted by the capability of spatial diagnostics for hypersonic boundary-layer study,quite a lot of problems of hypersonic boundary-layer transition,such as nonlinearity and receptivity,remain outstanding.This work reports the application of focused laser differential interferometer to instability wave development across hypersonic boundary-layer on a flared cone model.To begin with,the focused laser differential interferometer is designed and set up in a Mach number 6 hypersonic quiet wind tunnel with the focal point in the laminar boundary-layer of a 5 degree half-angle flared cone model.Afterwards,instability experiments are carried out by traversing the focal point throughout the hypersonic boundary-layer and the density fluctuation along the boundary-layer profile is measured and analyzed.The results show that three types of instability waves ranging from l0 kHz to over 1 MHz are co-existing in the hypersonic boundary-layer,indicating the powerful capability of focused laser differential interferometer in dynamic response resolution for instability wave study in hypersonic flow regime;furthermore,quantitative analyses including spectra and bicoherence analysis of instability waves throughout the hypersonic boundary-layer for both cold and heated cone models are performed.
