Abstract
The growth of linear disturbances in the high-Reynolds number laminar wake of a channels cascade is investigated. Disturbances in the near wake respon d according to the Rayleigh equation which is solved numerically for a spat ial stability problem. The unperturbed flow is studied using a double deck analysis. The results of This analysis allow for the basic flow profiles at different streamwise positions to be numerically obtained as solutions of the wake boundary-layer equations.
