Receptivity coefficients of vortex-vibrational type at excitation of 3D Tollmien-Schlichting waves in a boundary layer on a swept wing

• The paper is devoted to the first results of an experimental quantitative study of the receptivity mechanism of a swept-wing laminar boundary layer related to scattering of 2D freestream vortices (with frequency fv) at 3D local surface vibrations (with frequency fs) resulting in an excitation of Tollmien-Schlichting (TS) waves (having combination frequencies f+ = fs+fv and f- = fs - fv). The experiments were carried out in a low-turbulence level wind tunnel on a high-precision experimental model of long-laminar-run swept airfoil (sweep angle of 35°) at a freestream speed of about 10 m/s. Controlled localized 3D surface vibrations and 2D freestream vortices were generated by special disturbance sources. Quantitative characteristics of the studied receptivity mechanism (receptivity coefficients) were estimated.
