Abstract

A cone-flare at Mach 6 is prone to centrifugal instability (or Görtler instability) along its concave wall. We investigate perturbation amplification in the presence of random, upstream steady vortical disturbances using direct numerical simulations (DNS). Our calculations reveal that the flow field selectively amplifies perturbations resulting in periodic streamwise streaks with a given azimuthal wavelength. Amplification of these streaks causes significant base flow modifications, which can eventually lead to flow transition. We also investigate the effectiveness of distributed suction and its spatial location for attenuating the growth of these streaks. It is found that suction along the region of large curvature is more effective in controlling the growth of these perturbations, though satisfactory reduction in the growth is not observed in any of the suction locations considered.
