Using small localized surface vibrations for controlling the transition process in a boundary layer
Abstract
Results of an experimental study of the effect of small surface vibrations on the laminar-turbulent transition in a boundary layer are reported. The experiment, carried out in a low-turbulence subsonic wind tunnel using a flat plate, shows that small surface vibrations localized in space provide a way to control the laminar-turbulent transition point.
