Boundary-Layer Receptivity to Three-Dimensional Roughness Arrays on a Swept-Wing

On-going efforts to reduce aircraft drag through transition delay focus on understanding the process of boundary-layer transition from a physics-based perspective. For swept-wings subject to transition dominated by a stationary crossflow instability, one of the remaining challenges is understanding...
