Biography
Cunbiao Li is a Professor at Peking University, and the Executive Deputy Director of the State Key Laboratory for Turbulence and Complex Systems. He is a recipient of the National Outstanding Youth Fund. He received his MS (1990) from Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Ph.D. (1995) from Beihang University. Dr. Li was an Associate Professor at Tsinghua University after completing his postdoctoral research at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1998. In 2001, Dr. Li joined the faculty of State Key Laboratory for Turbulence and Complex Systems at Peking University. He has published more than 60 journal articles. He presently is the Associate Editor of AIAA J and the member of Phys. Fluids. His current research interests include hypersonic boundary layer transition and aerodynamic heating, low-speed boundary layer transition, wind tunnel design, near-wall PIV measurement.
Abstract
The hypersonic boundary-layer transition is a strategic focus in the fluid mechanics community. This article reviews recent developments in the study of the hypersonic boundary-layer transition, especially at Peking University. The hypersonic quiet wind tunnel is introduced as a necessary device to obtain real flight data in near space. The most important issues in the recent development of the transition in the hypersonic boundary layer are addressed. The instability, its contribution to the aerodynamic heating and artificial control are discussed.
