Recent progress in hypersonic aerodynamics has shed light on one of the field's longest-standing puzzles: the unpredictable transition from smooth to turbulent airflow around blunt-nosed vehicles. This transition dramatically increases drag and thermal load, posing a major challenge to hypersonic flight systems. Traditionally, researchers attributed this boundary layer transition to modal
