Abstract

The problem of freestream-turbulence-generated instability waves in the flat-plate boundary layer is solved on the basis of a nonlinear turbulence model admitting the deviation of the speed of propagation of vortex disturbances from the flow velocity. The solution obtained well describes the experimental dependence of the laminar-turbulent transition Reynolds number on the freestream turbulence degree.
