Towards the Understanding of Humpback Whale Tubercles: Linear Stability Analysis of a Wavy Flat Plate

The results from a temporal linear stability analysis of a subsonic boundary layer over a flat plate with a straight and wavy leading edge are presented in this paper for a swept and un-swept plate. For the wavy leading-edge case, an extensive study on the effects of the amplitude and wavelength of...
