Investigations were performed utilizing a localized surface source of acoustic energy to generate disturbances in a laminar boundary layer flow to uncover the influence of induced surface vibrations on the stability of a shear flow boundary layer. Explorations were carried out over a frequency range of from 50 to 10,000 cps, using input sound pressure levels of up to 145 db re 0. 0002 dynes/sq cm. Results are presented which indicate the effect of sonic parameters (frequency, amplitude) on both the mean and fluctuating components of the boundary layer flow. Induced boundary layer oscillations are discussed, where appropriate, in terms of the stability theory of Tollmien and Schlichting. Studies of distortion of boundary layer oscillations are described and the role of such distortion in producing transition is discussed. Nonlinear secondary flows (streaming) generated by the localized source are also treated. Exploration of the influence of sonic excitation on premature transition produced both by increasing the free stream turbulence level and by use of a tripping wire is described.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the effects of pure-tone acoustic excitation on Tollmien-Schlichting waves in a subsonic Blasius boundary layer. Longitudinal growth rates were measured for naturally-existing waves in a low-noise, low-turbulence wind tunnel, and for waves excited by an externally imposed sound field. The results were compared to numerical results from the standard Orr-Sommerfeld equation. The excited Tollmien-Schlichting waves matched the theory well in most respects, and it was concluded that the acoustic excitation merely generated a larger initial wave amplitude, ahead of Branch I of the neutral stability curve. For excitation levels larger than the residual tunnel disturbances, this initial amplitude was constant and equal to the disturbance velocity of the sound wave. The naturally-existing waves showed growth rates smaller than theory predicted. This leads to the conclusion that natural waves are not initially two-dimensional.
