Abstract

A new method to predict the linear evolution of disturbances in three-dimensional inhomogeneous boundary layers is proposed, named RTPSE, in which the line-marching parabolized stability equation (PSE) is improved by applying ray tracing (RT) theory. Results show that RTPSE can accurately predict the spanwise wave number and amplitude ratio for both stationary and traveling crossflow waves, while the traditional PSE could not.
