Abstract

This paper investigates a wavelength selection mechanism under ideal and nonideal flow conditions. It also discusses the conditions of the total streamwise growth of Gortler vortices generated under ideal and nonideal flow conditions and its effect on the laminar-turbulent transition process. The stabilizing effects of suction on the total growth of these vortices are analyzed. It is demonstrated that the wavelength selection mechanism and the total growth of the vortices are affected by the departures from ideal flow conditions. The case of streamwise vorticity in the basic flow is analyzed and is shown to affect disturbances through a subharmonic resonance.
