Development of a system for transition characterizationThe present system for real-time boundary layer transition detection and characterization encompasses aerodynamic simulations, sensor characteristics, and a hybrid analog/digital system for signal analysis, verification, and compression. By using artificial, intermittently laminar/turbulent signals, in conjunction with trajectory simulation, it becomes possible to conduct algorithm development which is independent of, and in advance of, sensor buildup. Attention is given to the illustrative case of the Pegasus launch vehicle's trajectory.
