Some thoughts on boundary layer transition
Abstract
The subject of boundary layer transition is discussed with reference to the phenomena of the instability for finite disturbances, the three-dimensional feature of instability, the breakdown of wave motion, and the transition induced by roughness element. The discussion is restricted to the two-dimensional basic flow of an incompressible fluid over a flat plate with zero pressure gradient (Blasius flow), or between two plates with falling pressure gradient (plane Poiseuille flow).
