“…to 36 for U'.,/11 0, of 0.003. Subsequent investigations, including those of Tani (15), Wortmann (16,17), T'ani and Aihara (18) and Winoto, Durao and Crane (19), have been essentially concerned with visualization of, and velocity measurements in, the laminar boundary layer to identify the system of vortices on concave surfaces, and their effects on transition. Tani and Aihara (18) concluded that these were indirect in modifying the development of Tollmien-Schlichting waves by inducing a spanwise variation of boundary-layer thickness.…”
