Abstract

For the first time, detailed experiments aimed at evaluation of the influence of flat microroughness elements (adhesive tape stickers attached to the streamlined surface) on the mean and pulsation flow characteristics in flat-plate and swept-wing boundary layers were carried out under comparable dimensional conditions. At Mach number M = 2, the sticker shape was found to have almost no influence on the amplitude of mass-flow pulsations in the wake of sticker. The relative receptivity of 3D boundary layer to stationary disturbances was obtained to be approximately 1.5 times higher than the receptivity of 2D boundary layer. It was found that the presence of a sticker at the line of the source of controlled disturbance changes the pulsation spectra in 2D and 3D boundary layers in comparison with unperturbed flow. In the wake behind the center of a sticker, the flow can be most unstable.
