title: Vortices and flow reversal due to suction slots.
abstract: Suction into small two- or three-dimensional surface slots inside an otherwise planar boundary-layer is examined theoretically through a combined analytical and computational approach. Increasing suction strength leads to enhanced nonlinear structures with flow reversals or trailing vortices.
