Stability of wall-bounded shear layers in the presence of simulated distributed surface roughness

Abstract: Linear stability of wall-bounded shear layers modified by distributed suction has been considered. Wall suction was introduced in order to simulate distributed surface roughness. In all cases studied, i.e. Poiseuille and Couette flows and Blasius boundary layer, wall suction was able to induce a new type of instability characterized by the appearance of streamwise vortices. Results of calculations show that a linear model of suction-induced flow modifications provides a sufficiently accura… Show more

“…The ow has Poiseuille form initially and is disturbed by sudden imposition of suction at the initial time. The initial transient dies out after approximately 200 time units and the solution approaches steady form identical to that obtained by Floryan [18] in a steady state analysis. Additional comparisons are given in Table I.…”

“…Therefore, the surfaces applied in this study were considered hydraulically smooth, 49 such that the level of roughness would not change the hydrodynamics of the system. A roughness of [2 lm would be necessary to affect the laminar-turbulent transition in the device at these tip speeds.…”
