Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have conducted advanced simulations of hypersonic flight around cone-shaped models.

They used powerful supercomputers and cutting-edge software to simulate the 3D flow around cone shapes.

At Mach 16 , they observed breaks in the flow within the shock layers, near the cone’s tip, where air molecules become more viscous.

Interestingly, these breaks were absent at Mach 6 , highlighting the crucial role of speed in these instabilities.
