Abstract

The development of velocity perturbations at laminar boundary-layer separation from a wing with wavy surface has been examined. Experiments were carried out to identify flow features displayed by the spatially periodic flow structure. An analysis of the linear stability of measured velocity profiles is performed. As a result of the analysis, the influence of surface waviness on the frequency range and growth rates of instability waves was investigated, with a good agreement between calculated and experimental data.
