Abstract
The nonlinear stage of laminar-turbulent transition of a 2-D boundary-layer (normal profile close to the Blasius flow) has been investigated experimentally under controlled disturbance conditions. The time-harmonic instability waves were excited in the boundary-layer by means of a slit source developed in previous experiments [2]. The nonlinear development of this wave leads to a formation of the Klebanoff-regime (K-regime) of boundary layer transition.
