    Nonlinear Crossflow Disturbances and Secondary Instabilities in Swept-Wing Boundary Layers

    We numerically solve the governing partial differential equations to study nonlinear evolution of crossflow disturbances in incompressible as well as compressible boundary layers. When the amplitude of these d...

    Transition Prediction in External Flows via Linear Stability Theory

    Paper summarizes progress in relating linear stability theory to transition location. Linear stability theory computations for both flight and low-disturbance wind tunnels, at low and high speeds, and for T-S,...

    Effects of Nozzle Design Parameters on the Extent of Quiet Test Flow at Mach 3.5

    To advance boundary-layer stability and transition research and to ultimately provide reliable predictions of transition for supersonic flight vehicles, a wind tunnel is required with much lower stream disturb...

    Effect of Curvature on Cross-Flow Instability

    The problem of the stability of a three-dimensional laminar boundary layer formed on a curved surface is considered. A calculation scheme, which takes account of the curvature of the flow streamlines and of th...
