Abstract
In a wind tunnel on a flat plate in a separated flow behind a rectangular step, the emergence and development of localized disturbances generated by low-frequency impulse deviations of the local surface section under conditions of low and moderate degrees of the incoming flow turbulence is studied. The results were obtained by hot-wire anemometry at low subsonic flow velocity. It was found that impulse deviations of the wall generate disturbances, which are socalled Streaky structures and wave packets of oscillations. The separation of the laminar boundary layer accelerates the growth of wave packets with subsequent turbulization of the near-wall flow. The specific features of the behavior of localized disturbances under conditions of moderate degree of free-stream turbulence are revealed.
