Abstract
The stability of a two-dimensional essentially subsonic boundary layer of a gas relative to the Tollmien-Schlichting oblique waves propagati ng at nonzero angle to the direction of outer flow is considered. It i s shown that, contrary to popular belief, such waves may have high gro wth increments compared to their two-dimensional analogs and, therefor e, they may substantially influence the laminar-turbulent flow transit ion in the boundary layer.
