The Influence of Imperfections on the Stability of Subsonic Boundary Layers

  • Chapter
Book cover Instabilities and Turbulence in Engineering Flows

Part of the book series: Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications ((FMIA,volume 16))

Abstract

The primary and subharmonic instabilities of two-dimensional subsonic flows over surface imperfections are discussed. Some highlight results of the instabilities of these flows with different velocity and thermal boundary conditions are presented.
