Abstract

The propagation of disturbances in three-dimensional boundary layers under the conditions of a global and a local strong inviscid-viscous interaction is analyzed. A system of subcharacteristics is found based on the condition for the pressure-related subcharacteristic, and an algebraic relation that gives the propagation velocity of disturbances is obtained. The velocity of propagation of disturbances is calculated for two- and three-dimensional flows. The studied problem is of great importance for accurately formulating problems for three-dimensional unsteady boundary-layer equations and for constructing adequate computational models.
