Stability and transition of three-dimensional boundary layers
TL;DR: The recent progress in three-dimensional boundary-layer stability and transition is reviewed in this paper, focusing on the crossflow instability that leads to transition on swept wings and rotating disks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear and nonlinear stability of the Blasius boundary layer
TL;DR: In this article, two new techniques for the study of the linear and nonlinear instability in growing boundary layers are presented, one of which employs partial differential equations of parabolic type exploiting the slow change of the mean flow, disturbance velocity profiles, wavelengths, and growth rates in the streamwise direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Boundary-layer receptivity to freestream disturbances
TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear Stability Theory Applied to Boundary Layers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a critical evaluation of linear stability theory for wall-bounded shear flows, with an emphasis on results, not techniques, and deal with applications to different flowfields related to aircraft systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypersonic laminar–turbulent transition on circular cones and scramjet forebodies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature for transition on circular cones and scramjet forebodies from an experimental point of view, focusing on the effect of laminar-turbulent transition in hypersonic boundary layers.
