Based on the database from linear stability theory (LST) analysis, a local amplification factor transport equation for stationary crossflow (CF) waves in low-speed boundary layers was developed in 2019. In this paper, the authors try to extend this transport equation to compressible boundary layers based on local flow variables. The similarity equations for compressible boundary layers are introduced to build the function relations between non-local variables and local flow parameters. Then, compressibility corrections are taken into account to modify the source term of the transport equation. Through verifications of different sweep angles, Reynolds numbers, angles of attack, Mach numbers, and different cross-section geometric shapes, the rationality and correctness of the new transport equation established in this paper are illustrated.
