Effect of roughness element on the stability of boundary layers

The instability of flows around hump and dip imperfections is investigated. The mean flow is calculated using interacting boundary layers, thereby accounting for viscous/inviscid interaction and separation bubbles. Then, the two-dimensional linear instability of this flow is analyzed, and the amplif...
