An evaluation is conducted of the development status of growing normal modes in the computation of flow fields over hypersonic vehicles, giving attention to the effects of surface cooling, pressure gradients, and suction on the growth rates of the normal modes. Also noted are the effects of bluntness on the stability properties of hypersonic vehicles, and the efficacy of the e exp N method of transition estimation at supersonic and hypersonic speeds. A survey is made of the precautions that must be taken to ensure the effectiveness of experimental and computational studies of hypersonic flow phenomena.
