Summary
In present paper results of experimental simulation of laminar-turbulent transition in a single stationary vortex artificially generated in a swept wing boundary layer are presented. It was observed that two wave packets are formed on the vortex and leads to downstream transition. Also riblet influence on the transition was investigated. It was found that placing the riblets directed along the vortex result in significant prolongation of laminar regime.
