Roughness-induced Transient Growth: Continuous-spectrum Receptivity and Secondary Instability Analysis
This dissertation analyzes the effect of periodic roughness elements on the stability of a flat plate boundary layer. Receptivity data is extracted from direct numerical simulations and experimental data and the results are compared to theoretical predictions. This analysis shows that flow in the im...
