  Presented are the numerical and the experimental results describing laminar/turbulent boundary
  layer transition on thin blunted cones at freestream Mach numbers of M = 6.1 and 8. Shown is the
  common inﬂuence of cone nose bluntness, semi-angle of cones, and Mach and Reynolds numbers
  on the boundary layer transition. The present results, concerning the beginning of boundary layer
  transition, are compared with data obtained previously in wind tunnels at super- and hypersonic
  ﬂows over the thin blunted cones (Refs. [2, 4, 12–17]).
