Abstract
Crossflow–dominated laminar–turbulent transition is studied by nonlinear nonlocal theory (PSE) for the DLR swept–flat plate experiment. The strongly nonlinear stages of the transition process, i.e. the formation of high–frequency secondary instabilities, their linear and nonlinear growth as well as the subsequent disintegration of the secondary disturbance structures which is accompanied by a degradation of the stationary crossflow vortices are discussed.
