Boundary-layer receptivity to freestream disturbances

TLDR
The boundary-layer receptivity to external acoustic and vortical disturbances is reviewed in this article. But, the authors do not consider the effects of external acoustic or vortic disturbances on the boundary layer.
Abstract
The current understanding of boundary-layer receptivity to external acoustic and vortical disturbances is reviewed. Recent advances in theoretical modeling, numerical simulations, and experiments are discussed. It is shown that aspects of the theory have been validated and that the mechanisms by which freestream disturbances provide the initial conditions for unstable waves are better understood. Challenges remain, however, particularly with respect to freestream turbulence

Experimental Study of a Boundary Layer on a Heated Flat Plate

TL;DR: In this paper, a probe with parallel wires was used for velocity-temperature measurement in a closed-circuit wind tunnel with several levels of heat flux at the wall, and the wall temperature was set up in the interval from 20 oC to 200 oC.

Thresholds of nature: How understanding one of nature's penultimate laws led to the PowerCone, a biomimetic energy source

Tai-Hua Lin
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explore various aerodynamic mechanisms and strategies of the falling maple key and describe how they were applied to the design of wind and tidal turbines, revealing the cross-disciplinary nature of biomimetic designs, and the underlying role of threshold theory and principles of time-dependent energy transfer in nature's strategies.

In-Flight Active Wave Cancelation with Delayed-x-LMS Control Algorithm in a Laminar Boundary Layer

TL;DR: This manuscript demonstrates the first successful application of the delayed-x-LMS (dxLMS) control algorithm for TS-wave cancelation, which is operated without a model and is able to adapt to varying conditions that may occur during flight in atmosphere.

A Technique to Control the Decay of Freestream Turbulence for Transitional Flow Simulations

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a new approach to control the decay of freestream turbulence that avoids setting high values for the inlet eddy viscosity by modifying the dissipation term of the turbulence model only in the free-stream.

A note on an algebraic instability of inviscid parallel shear flows

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that all parallel inviscid shear flows of constant density are unstable to a wide class of initial infinitesimal three-dimensional disturbances in the sense that, according to linear theory, the kinetic energy of the disturbance will grow at least as fast as linearly in time.

Optimal disturbances and bypass transition in boundary layers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the steady boundary-layer approximation to calculate the upstream disturbances experiencing maximum spatial energy growth, which are numerically calculated using techniques commonly employed when solving optimal-control problems for distributed parameter systems.

Reynolds number independent instability of the boundary layer over a flat surface : optimal perturbations

TL;DR: In this article, the dependence on initial conditions of the three-dimensional algebraic spatial instability of the Blasius boundary layer is examined by a recently developed method of receptivity analysis based on the upstream integration of adjoint equations.
