Excitation Of Localized Wave Packet In 3d Supersonic Boundary Layer

Abstract

The results of experimental study of excitation of localized in time and space controlled disturbances (wave packets) in a supersonic swept-wing boundary layer are presented. The experiments were performed at Mach number M = 2 on the model of wing with a lenticular profile and a 40 degrees sweep angle of the leading edge at zero angle of attack. Wave packets were generated by a pulse electric discharge on the surface of the model. A structure of controlled wave packet was studied. It was found that the wave packet has an asymmetric shape. Comparison with the case of twodimensional boundary layer was done.
