Abstract

The growth of two-dimensional disturbances generated in a supersonic (M∞ = 6) boundary layer on a flat plate by a periodic perturbation of the injection/suction type is investigated on the basis of a numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. For small initial perturbation amplitudes, the secondmode growth rate obtained from the numerical modeling coincides with the growth rate calculated using linear theory with account for the non-parallelism of the main flow. Calculations performed for large initial perturbation amplitudes reveal the nonlinear dynamics of the perturbation growth downstream, with rapid growth of the higher multiple harmonics.
