On linear global instability at the leading edge of a short compression corner with large ramp angle

Abstract Global linear stability analysis of Mach 3 flow over a short compression corner is investigated at Reynolds number 11200 and Knudsen number O(10−4), for the first time using both kinetic theory direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) and continuum Navier–Stokes–Fourier (dir...
