Secondary instabilities of boundary layers

Several aspects of the subharmonic instability of boundary layers are studied. First, the subharmonic instability of incompressible flows over a flat plate is investigated using the resonant triad model and the Floquet model. The primary wave is taken in the form of a two-dimensional (2-0) Tollmien-...
