Stabilization of Hypersonic Boundary-Layer: Acoustic Metasurfaces

This book explores the mechanisms and applications of acoustic metasurfaces in the hypersonic transition control area. It begins with an introduction of the concepts of acoustic metasurface and hypersonic boundary-layer stabilization, which also provides a full scene of the research progress in the past two decades. This book then discusses the modeling methods of various acoustic metasurfaces, including the regular and irregular ones, and describes how the models are to be used in theoretical analysis and numerical calculations. The design strategies and optimization methods are presented to promote the applications in the engineering community. The possible stabilization mechanisms are explored, and the proposed analysis methods are used to clarify other flow instabilities. This book delivers valuable insight for aerospace engineers, postgraduate students, and researchers.
