Abstract

A model is developed for the interaction of the Ekman boundary layer with a compliant two-dimensional surface. To study the hydrodynamic instability of this interaction a new accurate numerical framework extending the compound matrix method is introduced. Preliminary results are presented on the implications of the compliant surface on the stability of the Ekman layer which show that the compliant surface has negligible effect on the critical Reynolds number.
