Hypersonic Laminar Flow Control
A typical challenge for re-entry vehicles during flight is an effective control of hypersonic transition and the laminar/turbulent state of the boundary layer. The state of the boundary layer is of high importance since skin friction drag and heat transfer rates in a turbulent boundary layer can be several times higher than those of a laminar one. A lot of different strategies are used to delay or prevent the transition process.
