I. Abstract

Objective: Using Schlieren/Shadowgraph, PSP/TSP, pressure arrays, and PIV/LDV in a joint framework, produce a unified fit of the supercritical shock-layer striation: stripe spacing/orientation/fraction, overshoot amplitude and recovery length, shock walking frequency and phase–group delays, coherence length/decay rate, SBLI coupling and the dimensionless stripe number, to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting across 11 experiments and 58 conditions achieves RMSE = 0.043, R² = 0.919, a 17.7% error reduction versus NS+SBLI+DSMC/triple-deck+turbulence-closure baselines; estimates include λ_stripe = 1.36±0.22 mm, θ_s = 28.4°±3.7°, R_stripe = 0.41±0.07, A_ov = 12.8%±2.3%, L_rec = 18.7±3.1 mm, f_s = 7.9±1.4 kHz, τ_g = 21.3±3.6 μs, L_coh = 12.4±2.2 mm, α_damp = 0.086±0.018 mm⁻1, C_SBLI = 0.37±0.07, Stp = 13.8±2.1.
Conclusion: Striation emerges from Path Tension and Sea Coupling imparting multiplicative bias to shock/shear channels (ψ_shock/ψ_shear); STG imposes directional drifts on phase–group delays and orientation; TBN sets floors for stripe fraction and decay; Coherence Window/RL bound attainable L_coh and α_damp at high M/Re; Topology/Recon via wall roughness/microstructures and separation-bubble connectivity reshapes the covariance of C_SBLI and Stp.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Stripe metrics: λ_stripe (spacing), θ_s (orientation), R_stripe (area fraction).
Overshoot & recovery: A_ov (density/pressure overshoot %), L_rec (recovery length).
Shock walking: f_s, phase delay Δφ_s and group delay τ_g.
Coherence & damping: L_coh, α_damp.
Coupling & nondimensionalization: boundary-layer thickness δ, coupling C_SBLI, stripe number Stp ≡ L_rec/λ_stripe, and local Knudsen number.

Unified Fitting Conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)

Observable axis: λ_stripe, θ_s, R_stripe, A_ov, L_rec, f_s, Δφ_s, τ_g, L_coh, α_damp, δ, C_SBLI, Stp, Kn_local, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for ψ_shock, ψ_shear, ψ_interface).
Path & measure: compressive work and momentum propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; power bookkeeping via ∫ (p∇·u) dℓ and ∫ τ:∇u dℓ; all formulas plain text, SI units.

Empirical Patterns (cross-platform)

Under supercritical conditions, inclined stripes appear quasi-periodically downstream;
Stripe intensity strengthens when resonant with shock walking f_s, with negative in-band Δφ_s;
L_coh increases then decreases with Re, while α_damp grows in the high-frequency band.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: λ_stripe ≈ λ0 · [1 − k_SC·ψ_shear + γ_Path·J_Path − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_interface)
S02: θ_s ≈ θ0 + b1·k_STG·G_env − b2·η_Damp·(M/M0 − 1)
S03: A_ov ≈ a0 + a1·k_SC·ψ_shock − a2·k_TBN·σ_env, L_rec ≈ L0 · [1 + ξ_RL − η_Damp]
S04: f_s ≈ f0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path], Δφ_s(f) ≈ −c1·k_STG·G_env + c2·θ_Coh − c3·η_Damp·(f/f0), and τ_g ≈ ∂Δφ_s/∂ω
S05: L_coh ≈ Lc · [1 + θ_Coh − k_TBN·σ_env], α_damp ≈ α0 + d1·η_Damp − d2·k_SC·ψ_shear, C_SBLI ≈ C0 + e1·zeta_topo

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC co-drives shear–shock coupling, rescaling λ_stripe, A_ov, and f_s.
P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG yields directional drifts in orientation and phase; k_TBN fixes floors for stripe fraction and damping.
P03 · Coherence Window/Damping/RL: set extrema of L_coh and roll-off of α_damp; xi_RL limits high-drive regimes.
P04 · TPR/Topology/Recon: zeta_topo captures wall/separation-bubble micro-reconstruction, elastically impacting C_SBLI and Stp.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

The unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of λ_stripe/θ_s/R_stripe, A_ov/L_rec, f_s/Δφ_s/τ_g, L_coh/α_damp, δ/C_SBLI, Stp/Kn_local, with parameters of clear physical meaning—actionable for drag/thermal-protection architectures and shock–boundary-layer control.
Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ψ_shock/ψ_shear/ψ_interface/ζ_topo separate shock, shear, and wall-channel contributions.
Engineering usability: monitoring G_env/σ_env/J_Path with wall-microstructure shaping stabilizes stripe metrics and suppresses overshoot and shock walking.

Blind Spots

High-Kn/rarefied regimes with strong chemistry require nonequilibrium chemistry and internal-state excitation;
At high AoA and on curved walls, θ_s can mix with curvature-induced geometric striping—angle-resolved and incremental tests are needed for demixing.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see front-matter falsification_line.
Experiments:
- 2-D maps: scan M×Re and M×α to chart λ_stripe, A_ov, f_s, C_SBLI;
- Wall engineering: tune roughness/micro-ribs/porous cooling to quantify zeta_topo elasticity on Stp, L_rec;
- Synchronized acquisition: Schlieren + PSP/TSP + micro-pressure arrays + PIV to hard-link Δφ_s–τ_g–A_ov;
- Environmental mitigation: reduce vibration/optical speckle/thermal drift, calibrating TBN impacts on R_stripe/α_damp.
