Mechanics of Boundary Layer Transition. Part 4: Stability and Compliant Surfaces
Abstract
The application of the theory that the dynamic properties of a boundary layer, and hence, its stability and transition characteristics may be influenced by coupling it hydroelastically to a compliant wall is discussed. Drag reduction methods and the effects of a flexible boundary on hydrodynamic stability are emphasized.
