Notes:
Based on the Euler-Maclaurin formula, a compact finite difference scheme is employed to solve a two-point boundary value problem for studying the secondary instabilities of the boundary layer flow. The parametric resonance of unstable waves is explored using the Floquet method. For both subharmonic and fundamental modes, two additional Fourier terms are added in the analysis, and the spatial growth rates are determined. The effect of suction mechanism on the secondary instability waves is also investigated. From numerical experiments, it is shown that the proposed numerical scheme is very promising. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
