Studies of Boundary Layer Bypass Transition Induced by Periodic External Disturbances : Effects of Boundary Layer Control using Wall Suction
Details
This study deals with the investigation of bypass transition process of a flat-plate boundary layer that is subjected to periodic sphere wake passage as an external disturbance. Air-injection type of disturbance is also applied, whose results are then to be compared with those of the sphere wake case. Wall suction is employed to change boundary layer characteristics, seeking for a possibility for the method to control wake-induced boundary layer transition.
