Swept wing boundary-layer receptivity to localized surface roughness

TL;DR: In this article, the receptivity to localized surface roughness of a swept-wing boundary layer is studied by direct numerical simulation (DNS) and computations using the parabolized stability equations (PSEs), where micron-sized cylinders were used to trigger steady crossflow modes.
