Energy replenishment a b c d • Evolution of a streamwise vortical structure • in boundary layers: • Development or generation of streamwise vortices followed by formation of normal shear layers between two counter-rotating vortices, • b) Deformation of a vortex shape due to an amplified instability mode of the shear layer • c) Aggravation of the vortex deformation – restriction of the amplitude growth • d) Breakdown of the normally stretched vortices; formation of a new compact structures under centrifugal forces or under control conditions shown as .

  20. CONCLUSIONS: • Inherent to flow streamwise vortices can be energized to result in efficient control of boundary-layers. • Laminar-turbulent transition was delayed from ~ 27% of a cord to ~ 40% in a controlled case (ΔT = 40С) under imposed z-regular disturbances of an appropriate mode. • Certain combinations of thermal-control parameters improve the aerodynamic performance of the model. • Further optimization of flow control is under way based on MW-controlled plasma arrays over a surface.
