Stability of incompressible attachment-line boundary layer

Linear stability analysis of incompressible attachment-line flow is presented within temporal and special frameworks. The global solution method used for solving the eigenproblem yields a full spectrum of the least damped waves. Analyses are made for the cases with blowing and suction. The equations of linear stability theory are solved using the spectral collocation method. The results obtained are compared with those presented by Hall (1984), Spalart (1988) and Theofilis (1998) and with the available experimental data.
