Abstract A two-fluid boundary layer is considered in the context of a high Reynolds number Poiseuille–Couette channel flow encountering an elongated shallow obstacle. The flow is laminar, steady and two-dimensional, with the boundary layer shown to have the pressure unknown in advance and a specified displacement (a condensed boundary layer). The focus is on the detail of the flow reversal triggered by the obstacle. The interface between the two fluids passes through the boundary layer which, in conjunction with the effects of gravity and distinct densities in the two fluids, leads to several possible topologies of the reversed flow, including a conventional on-wall separation, interior flow reversal above the interface, and several combinations of the two. The effect of upstream influence due to a transverse pressure variation under gravity is mentioned briefly.

Studies of vortical interactions in boundary layers have often invoked the continuous spectrum of the Orr–Sommerfeld (O-S) equation. These vortical eigenmodes provide a link between free-stream disturbances and the boundary-layer shear – a link which is absent in the inviscid limit due to shear sheltering. In the presence of viscosity, however, a shift in the dominant balance in the operator determines the structure of these eigenfunctions inside the mean shear. In order to explain the mechanics of shear sheltering and the structure of the continuous modes, both numerical and asymptotic solutions of the linear perturbation equation are presented in single- and two-fluid boundary layers. The asymptotic analysis identifies three limits: a convective shear-sheltering regime, a convective–diffusive regime and a diffusive regime. In the shear-dominated limit, the vorticity eigenfunction possesses a three-layer structure, the topmost being a region of exponential decay. The role of viscosity is most pronounced in the diffusive regime, where the boundary layer becomes ‘transparent’ to the oscillatory eigenfunctions. Finally, the convective–diffusive regime demonstrates the interplay between the the accumulative effect of the shear and the role of viscosity. The analyses are complemented by a physical interpretation of shear-sheltering mechanism. The influence of a wallfilm, in particular viscosity and density stratification, and surface tension are also evaluated. It is shown that a modified wavenumber emerges across the interface and influences the penetration of vortical disturbances into the two-fluid shear flow.

Delaying the onset of boundary layer transition has become a major research area in the last few years. This delay can be achieved by either active or passive control techniques. In the present paper, the effects of flexible or compliant structures on boundary layer stability and transition is studied. The Orr-Sommerfeld equation coupled to a beam equation representing the flexible structure is solved for a Blasius type boundary layer. A parametric study consisting of the beam thickness and material properties is carried out. In addition, the effect of fluid wall shear stress on boundary layer stability is analyzed. It is found that high density and high Young modulus materials behave like rigid structures and therefore do not alter the stability characteristic of the boundary layer. Whereas low density and low Young modulus materials are found to stabilize the boundary layer. High values of fluid wall shear stress are found to destabilize the boundary layer. Our results are in good agreement with those published in the literature.
