Abstract

Most of the techniques to control laminar-turbulent transition in near-wall flows are so-called passive approaches, being quite well developed for two-dimensional flows. Favourable pressure gradients, surface cooling and heating, as well as localised boundary layer suction [1] are most well known. Riblets placed in the boundary layers have also been used to suppress formation and interaction of organised three-dimensional structures, e.g., A- and stationary vortices in the transition region [2, 3]. They are passive, since they have no means for detecting and dynamically manipulating the flow structures, i.e. a possibility to adjust the control in time and space is essentially absent. A known alternative method is the direct suppression of the two-dimensional instability waves through their linear superposition (wave cancellation). To achieve this, it is necessary to place an actuator, which effectively generates the two-dimensional waves with the same amplitudes, but with opposite phases [4-7].
