AB - The influence of steps and gaps on swept-wing crossflow development is an emergingarea of interest. An experiment is performed on a 40swept-wing model in a facility witha turbulence level of 0.10%. Periodic discrete roughness elements are spaced at the criticalcrossflow wavelength and used to excite the crossflow disturbance. The subsequent interactionwith a two-dimensional roughness strip of various height and chordwise location isinvestigated. Naphthalene flow visualisation is used to help understand the global transitionfeatures, whilst detailed boundary layer measurements are conducted using hot-wireanemometry. Excrescences located closest to the neutral point are seen to have the biggestinfluence on stationary-crossflow disturbance amplitude. There appears to be a thresholdheight below which the excrescence has no significant influence on the boundary layer development.Excrescences located further downstream appear to generate greater unsteadinessin the boundary layer for a given excrescence height, leading to earlier transition.
