Abstract

The linear stage of short-wave Görtler vortices in the boundary layer near a concave surface is studied for the regime of weak hypersonic viscid-inviscid interaction at high Reynolds and Görtler numbers. It is assumed that the gas is perfect and the viscosity is a linear function of the enthalpy. It is found that neutral vortices are located near the surface if it has zero temperature. When the surface is heated, the vortices move away from it, whereas all newly incipient vortices are located near the surface. It is shown that the growth rate of the vortices has a maximum and the heating of the surface has a stabilizing effect on the vortices.
