Abstract
The effect of a nonuniform surface temperature distribution on the boundary layer stability characteristics is further investigated. It is shown that the presence of fairly extensive areas of the surface within which the temperature of the body exceeds the free-stream temperature leads to the destabilization of the flow and the appearance of a local closed region of laminar flow instability.
