Hypersonic turbulent boundary layers are a fundamental phenomenon in high-speed flight. The interaction of shock waves with hypersonic turbulent boundary layers has a critical impact on vehicle aerothermodynamic loading including surface heat transfer, pressure and skin friction. This book provides a comprehensive exposition of hypersonic turbulent boundary layers, including the fundamental mathematical theory, structure of equilibrium boundary layers, and extensive surveys of Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and experiments. It also provides a roadmap for both future experiments and DNS and LES simulations. Descriptions of hypersonic ground test facilities is included as an appendix. As a research and reference text, this book would appeal to graduate students and researchers in hypersonics and could be the basis for professional training courses.
