A comprehensive investigation of the impact of wavy wall on hypersonic boundary layers is carried out in a Mach 6 Ludwieg tube based on a 7 deg half-angle sharp cone. Linear stability theory is applied on the cone base flow with both smooth and wavy surfaces first. The evaluation of amplification rate as well as the frequency of instability waves reveals that the second mode instability is suppressed downstream of the wavy wall region. The development of instabilities is then characterized using surface flush-mounted pressure sensors and focused laser differential interferometer (FLDI). The FLDI measurement is conducted within the wavy wall zone both at troughs and at crests. Good agreement is found between the surface pressure measurement and computation, except that instability waves are invisible shortly downstream of the wavy wall. Additionally, bispectral analysis indicates that the nonlinear interaction of instability waves downstream of the wavy wall region is suppressed. FLDI measurement along the streamwise direction shows that the second mode instability waves disappear in the wavy wall region, and the boundary-layer transition process is delayed. Spatial measurement with FLDI of boundary layer identifies various types of disturbance at the troughs and crests; moreover, the co-existence of low-frequency and high-frequency disturbances is observed off the wall surface downstream of the wavy wall.
