Abstract: | The amplitudemethod of prediction of laminar-turbulent transition on a swept-wing initiated by the simultaneous action of free-stream turbulence and surface roughness is developed. Generation of growing intrinsic perturbations in the boundary layer is described by the mechanism of distributed generation, i.e., an external perturbation generates an instability mode with the same wavelength and frequency. Generation occurs in a small neighborhood of the neutral point at which the parameters of an external perturbation and the instability modes coincide. The development of proper perturbations in the boundary layer is described by the nonlinear method of parabolized stability equations (PSE). The criterion of laminar-turbulent transition is the combined amplitude. i.e., transition begins at a point at which the sum of amplitudes of steady and traveling modes reaches a critical value. |
