Abstract
Laminar-turbulent transition in a boundary layer of low-aspect-ratio wing was investigated. Experiments clarifying the flow structure, its mean and oscillatory characteristics were carried out accompanied by linear stability analysis of the wind tunnel data on the laminar flow velocity profiles. Theoretical results obtained in a parallel flow approximation are in a good agreement with the experimental data on disturbances evolution at the initial stage of transition to turbulence.
