Numerical simulation of boundary-layer disturbance evolution.
The use of numerical simulations to study the development of boundary-layer disturbances is illustrated for a number of different incompressible flow configurations. These include cases where the disturbances are generated by, or interact with, flow-control devices in the form of compliant panels, suction slots and microelectromechanical systems actuators. The velocity-vorticity system of governing equations used for the simulations is reviewed, along with the numerical discretization.
