On the transition mode characterizing the triggering of a vibrator in the subsonic boundary layer on a plate (Q1093461): Difference between revisions

The problem of the development of two-dimensional linear perturbations in a boundary layer, generated by the triggering of a vibrator, is considered. Fourier transformations in the longitudinal coordinate and a Laplace transform in time are used to construct the solution. The inverse transforms are evaluated for large values of the characteristic time t and all values of the longitudinal coordinate x. Domains located downstream of the vibrator are studied in the first of which the perturbations will have the form of Tollmien-Schlichting waves that go over into a wave packet in the second domain. The identity in the structure of the wave packets, which are orthonormalized to the maximum amplitude for this packet for different frequencies of vibrator oscillation is noted.
