Description
Summary:O354.4; An artificial disturbance is introduced into the boundary layer over a flat plate to investigate the effect on the transition process in the Mach 6.5 wind tunnel at Peking University.A linear stability theory (LST) is utilized to predict the evolution of the eigenmodes,and the frequency of the artificial disturbance is chosen according to the LST results.The artificial disturbance is generated by glowing discharge on the surface of the plate close to the leading edge.The Rayleigh-scattering visualization and particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements are performed.By comparing the experimental results with artificial disturbances with those under the natural condition (without arti-ficial disturbances),the present paper shows that the second-mode instability waves are significantly stimulated by the artificial disturbances,and the boundary layer transition is effectively triggered.
