A schematic picture of the numerical configuration of the investigated model and the optimal responses of the flow field.

Caption

Contours of normalized temperature perturbations of optimal responses inside the boundary layer and the entropy layer, and these optimal responses may shift to another type as a change of specific parameters such as frequency and spanwise wavenumber of disturbances. Here, R2.54 means the nose radius of the wedge is 2.54 mm.
