Abstract

The spatial development of the flat plate boundary layer disturbances by the hot-wire anemometry is experimentally investigated. Controlled disturbances were introduced into the laminar flow by means of a round membrane located on the surface of the model. The impulse motion of a round membrane leads to the formation of longitudinal localized structures and wave packets in the boundary layer. Wave packets consist of a set of straight and oblique waves, differing in their propagation characteristics. The development of wave packets downstream is consistent with the linear theory of hydrodynamic stability.
