Abstract
The influence of a porous wall on the nonlinear evolution of Mack modes in a hypersonic boundary layer is studied by solving the nonlinear parabolized stability equations. The fundamental resonance of the second mode is particularly considered. It is found that the porous effect leads to (1) a much stronger mean-flow distortion in an indirect way, (2) a greater suppression of the saturated fundamental mode, and (3) slower amplification rates of the secondary instability modes, which eventually delays the transition onset. Detailed explanations of the three mechanisms are provided.
