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 turbulenceread more

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.
