Abstract
The neutral curves of the boundary layer Görtler-vortex flow generated by free-stream disturbances, i.e., curves that distinguish the perturbation flow conditions of growth and decay, are computed through a receptivity study for different Görtler numbers, wavelengths, and low frequencies of the free-stream disturbance. The perturbations are defined as Klebanoff modes or strong and weak Görtler vortices, depending on their growth rate. The critical Görtler number below which the inviscid instability due to the curvature never occurs is obtained and the conditions for which only Klebanoff modes exist are thus revealed. A streamwise-dependent receptivity coefficient is defined and we discuss the impact of the receptivity on the $N$-factor approach for transition prediction.
