Abstract
The influence of rapid oscillations in the outer part of a boundary layer upon the time-averaged skin friction and heat transfer is investigated analytically. The oscillations are taken to be harmonic. The only restriction on the oscillation amplitude is that it should be sufficiently small to permit the use of the boundary layer equations. The derived asymptotic formulae show the explicit dependence of momentum transfer on the frequency and the time-averaged boundary layer flow. For the heat transfer similar formulae can be derived in a number of limiting cases, viz. when the Prandtl number is either large or small.
