Abstract In this work, the crossflow instability modes on a 7° half-angle cone with 6° angle of attack at Mach 6 have been experimentally studied. To begin with, the complete laminar-to-turbulence transition process is acquired by infrared thermography, and the heat flux streaks caused by the stationary crossflow vortices are distinct over the areas of leeward side. Further wavelet analysis reveals a dominant wavenumber of the stationary crossflow vortices, which is centered at about k = 50. Subsequently, the spatial distribution characteristics of the traveling crossflow instability (f = 20–50 kHz) and high-frequency instabilities (f = 100–500 kHz) are acquired between the azimuthal angle Φ = 90°–150° (windside to leeside) through wall mounted pressure sensors. The results of spectral and wavelet analysis indicate that the two types of instability are the traveling crossflow instability and its secondary instability, respectively. Further bispectral analysis is used to show that these high-frequency waves undergo several quadratic phase-coupled interactions with themselves to produce harmonics, as well interact with low-frequency waves that results in spectral broadening.

    Highlights The wavenumber of stationary crossflow waves in noisy condition is similar to that in the quiet flow condition. The secondary instabilities of traveling crossflow waves are distinct before transition. The nonlinear interactions between high-frequency and low-frequency instabilities are important transition mechanisms.
