The influence of unsteady streaks on the stability of flat plate boundary layers
The natural mechanism for transition to turbulence in flat-plate boundary layers is the growth and breakdown of Tollmien-Schlichting (TS) waves. In the presence of significant free-stream turbulence (FST) however, streamwise velocity perturbations, known as Klebanoff modes or streaks, amplify inside...
