Initial conditions, which are very important for the nonlinear problem, are investigated by computing initial solution of the harmonic waves, modifying the mean-flow-distortion, and giving initial value of TS wave and its subharmonic waves at initial station by solving linear PSE. A numerical method with high-order accuracy are developed in the text, the key normalization conditions in the PSE are satisfied, and nonlinear PSE are solved efficiently and implemented stably by the spatial marching. It has been shown that the computed process of nonlinear evolution of C-type instability in Blasius boundary layer is in good agreement with the experimental results.展开更多

The proposed numerical techniques for solving PSE include the following contents： introducing the efficiently normal transformation of the boundary layer, improving the computational accuracy by using a high-order differential scheme near the wall, employing the predictor-corrector and iterative approach to satisfy the important normalization condition, and implementing the stable spatial marching. Since the second mode dominates the growth of the disturbance in high Mach number flows, it is used in the computation. The evolution and characteristics of the boundary layer stability in the high speed flow are demonstrated in the examples. The effects of the nonparallelizm, the compressibility and the cooling wall on the stability are analyzed. And computational results are in good agreement with the relevant data.展开更多

In order to improve the accuracy of the calculation which is very important for the investigation of stability, higher order expansions in orthogonal functions in normal direction and the effective algebraic mapping to deal with the problem of infinite region were used and the way to collocate the boundary point based on its characteristics was adopted. With the effective control of step size in the marching procedure, the special condition was satisfied, and the stability of calculation was assured. From the curves of the neutral stability, the growth rate, the amplitude variation and disturbed velocity profile, the effects of the nonparallelism were given accurately and analyzed detailedly. It is found that the nonparallelism of the flow amplifies the amplitude and growth rate of disturbances, especially for three-dimensional disturbances, even can change the sign of flow stability from stability to instability for some cases. Computed results are in good agreement with the classical experimental results.展开更多
