                         the problem of separation are very important in the design of 
                         hypersonic configurations. When separation occurs in high Mach 
                         number flows, changes in pressure distribution and heat transfer 
                         rate may have catastrophic effects in the vehicle. The presence of 
                         hot spots at separation and reattachment points changes the 
                         characteristics of the flow over the vehicle and can cause failure 
                         in the thermal protection system, as was evidenced by the tragic 
                         loss of Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003. In general, separation 
                         occurs due to the interaction of external flows with various 
                         desired or undesired design features present on the vehicle 
                         surface, such as protuberances, notches, cavities, gaps, or
