Abstract
The development of disturbances in a boundary layer that have been induced by an external acoustic field are investigated. The problem is considered in the linear formulation. It is shown that the oscillations inside the supersonic boundary layer can have several times the intensity of the external disturbances. The susceptibility of the boundary layer to the acoustic disturbances increases with increasing Mach number. Cooling of the surface leads to a small decrease in the intensity of the longitudinal velocity oscillations in the layer. The effect of the parameters of the acoustic wave is considered, i.e., the effect of the frequency and phase velocity on the development of the disturbances.
