Experimental investigation of high-frequency secondary disturbances in a swept-wing boundary layer

The present work is a direct continuation. It has been done by the same team of authors. The development dynamics of one type of secondary disturbances and their effect on the transition process under large amplitudes of stationary vortices were described. In the present experiments we attempted to simulate the development of another type of traveling waves that are generated on an isolated stationary vortex in a swept-wing boundary layer and to estaimate its effect on the transition to turbulence
