Abstract
The dependence on initial conditions of the three-dimensional algebraic spatial instability
of the Blasius boundary layer is examined by a recently developed method
of receptivity analysis based on the upstream integration of adjoint equations. This
method allows us to determine optimal perturbations, i.e. initial perturbations that
maximize the energy growth, even in the wavenumber range where the problem is
not amenable to a mode analysis, and thus to complement a previous paper in which
the small-wavenumber regime was described.
