Abstract
A model of the nonlinear interaction between a pressure perturbation traveling at a constant velocity and an incompressible boundary layer is constructed when its near-wall part is described by the “inviscid boundary layer” equations. A steady-state solution is managed to obtain in the finite form under the assumption that it exists in a moving coordinate system. It is shown that the boundary layer can easily overcome pressure perturbations whose amplitude is not higher than the dynamic pressure calculated from the velocity of the pressure perturbation. At the higher pressure perturbation amplitudes a vortex sheet sheds from the body surface to the boundary layer. The vortex sheet represents an unstable surface of the tangential discontinuity which separates the regions of the direct and reverse separation flows. In the case of an arbitrary shape of the pressure perturbation the surface of the tangential discontinuity sheds from the body surface at a finite angle with the formation of a stagnation point. An example of the pressure perturbation in which the vortex sheet sheds from the body surface along the tangent is constructed.
