CONTROL OF REYNOLDS NUMBER IN A HIGH SPEED WIND TUNNEL. doi: 10.5028/jatm.2009.01016977
A conceptual control model for the Reynolds number test based on isentropic relations was established for the supersonic wind tunnel. Comparison of the system response of the model simulation and the actual wind tunnel test data was made to design the ...

The effects of wall surface defects on boundary-layer transition in quiet and noisy supersonic flow [PDF]
The design of supersonic vehicles with laminar flow control and vehicles such as the Space Shuttle requires information on allowable transition tolerances to fabrication defects such as discrete surface roughness and waviness.
