• Resumen

  • The objective of this review is to provide a critical evaluation of linear stability theory for wall-bounded shear flows, with an emphasis on results, not techniques. The results deal with applications to different flowfields related to aircraft systems. Because the flight condition is usually a low-disturbance environment, stability plays an important role in the transition process. Linear stability theory is not a new topic, so emphasis is placed on the most recent accomplishments.
