Abstract

A new type of Tollmien-Schlichting wave excitation, experimentally detected in [6] in investigating the unsteady perturbation field downstream from roughness on the surface of a vibrating wing, is studied. It is shown that the generation mechanism consists in the nonlinear interaction between the unsteady disturbance produced by the vibrations of the smooth wall and the steady nonuniformity of the boundary layer above the roughness.
