This work analyzes unsteady hypersonic double-wedge flows, revealing unexpected behaviors under varying enthalpy conditions.

The aim is to characterize the spatio-temporal evolution of three-dimensional hypersonic double-wedge flows.
Comparison of hypersonic flows over 30°–55° double-wedges for low and high enthalpy regimes.
Utilization of a multi-graphics processing unit solver for simulation.
Assessment of unsteadiness through numerical probes along the z-axis.
Unexpected unsteady behavior is observed for both low and high enthalpy regimes.
Low enthalpy flow is found to be effectively frozen despite expectations for periodicity.
High enthalpy flow does not stabilize as anticipated, with endothermic processes showing minimal impact.

Ninni et al. (2026) studied this question.
