Nonlinear modal interactions in a compressible boundary layer

It is well known that boundary layers in the supersonic regime can support multiple instability modes, including the well-documented first and second modes. The main aim of this thesis is to investigate nonlinear modal interactions. Since an instability mode attains its maximum magnitude in its crit...
