Abstract
The coherent structures arising during flat-plate boundary layer transition at Mach number 3.4 are investigated using a custom-built hyper-rate imaging system. The evolution of transitional structures is investigated in the Eulerian and Lagrangian reference frames. The upstream evolution of transition is dominated by the generation of new hairpin structures, while the interaction among multiple structural types dominates the evolution downstream. The breakdown of the existing structure, which may be caused by interactions among multiple types of structures with similar scales, is also visualized.
