Effect of wave disturbances on flow characteristics in a laminar compressible boundary layer
Abstract
The effect of traveling-wave disturbances on flow characteristics in a laminar compressible boundary layer formed on a symmetric Joukowski profile is considered in the two-dimensional formulation. The analysis of the interaction between such a boundary layer and the perturbing traveling-wave field is reduced to a calculation of effective steady-state compressible laminar boundary layer for which surface conditions different from those for an unperturbed flow are introduced. A free-stream Mach number of 0.2 and a Prandtl number of unity are adopted, and the flow is assumed to be isentropic. Relations are obtained which close the solution procedure for both the perturbed and the unperturbed boundary layers.
