A quiet-flow Ludwieg tube for experimental study of high speed boundary layer transitionA new low Reynolds number quiet-flow Ludwieg tube facility, now under construction, is briefly described, and its advantages outlined. The facility is characterized by good optical access and may be particularly useful for the development of optical instrumentation for the generation and measurement of instability waves. Initial research plans also include work on hot-wire instrumentation, wave generation techniques, roughness and receptivity effects, and suction distribution effects.
