Abstract

The influence of isolated spherical roughness elements upon the transition of a three-dimensional boundary layer on a swept flat plate is discussed in this paper. Perturbations induced by the roughness are found to be more effective on the start of transition rather than the crossflow of the laminar undisturbed boundary layer at the roughness location.
