A localized heating or cooling effect on stability of the boundary-layer flow on a sharp cone at zero angle of attack and freestream Mach number 6 is analyzed. Experiments were carried out in the Transit-M wind tunnel of the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (Novosibirsk, Russia) for different heating/cooling intensities and freestream Reynolds numbers. The mean flows with localized heating/cooling are calculated using axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations. These solutions are used for the spatial linear stability analysis to estimate the transition onset points using the eN method. Direct numerical simulations of two-dimensional disturbances propagating in the boundary layer through the cooled/heated region are performed. The experiment and computations showed similar qualitative trends. The localized cooling decreases the second-mode amplitude and delays transition. The heating produced an opposite effect, which is less pronounced. Presented as Paper 2014-1271 at the 52nd Aerospace Sciences Meeting, National Harbor, MD, 13-17 January 2014
