Abstract
In a subsonic wind tunnel, laminar boundary-layer separation at a backward-facing step on a flat plate modulated by stationary flow perturbations was examined. The stationary disturbances were introduced into the flow by controlled roughness elements spaced on the model surface close to the separation line. Through a comparison of obtained data with results gained in previous studies of other periodic roughness systems, some trends in the generation of stationary disturbances subject to transient growth in separation region were revealed.
