Abstract
It is found that in a ribbon-excited Blasius boundary layer, a wave Reynolds number defined here on the basis of phase speed and wave number of the disturbance remains nearly independent of the local mean flow Reynolds number, and so also of the streamwise distance, under the parallel flow approximation. Consequently, a limited similarity feature of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation has been found to exist for the streamfunction in the outer region of the boundary layer.
