Popis: The ever-increasing need for optimized atmospheric-entry and hypersonic-cruise vehicles requires an understanding of the coexisting high-enthalpy phenomena. These phenomena strongly condition the development of instabilities leading to the boundary layer's transition to turbulence. The present article explores how shock waves, internal-energy-mode excitation, species interdiffusion, dissociation and ionization condition boundary-layer perturbation growth related to second-mode instabilities. Linear stability theory and the e-factor envelopes, despite the extremely low relative shock angle.
