| contents | We identify forcing mechanisms that separately amplify subsonic and supersonic features obtained from a linearized Navier-Stokes based model for compressible parallel boundary layers. Resolvent analysis is used to analyse the linear model, where the non-linear terms of the linearized equations act as a forcing to the linear terms. Considering subsonic modes, only the solenoidal component of the forcing to the momentum equations amplify these modes. When considering supersonic modes, we find that these are pressure fluctuations that radiate into the freestream. Within the freestream, these modes closely follow the trends of inviscid Mach waves. There are two distinct forcing mechanisms that amplify the supersonic modes: (i) the 'direct route' where the forcing to the continuity and energy equations and the dilatational component of the forcing to the momentum equations directly force the mode and (ii) the 'indirect route' where the solenoidal component of the forcing to the momentum equations force a response in wall-normal velocity, and this wall-normal velocity in-turn forces the supersonic mode. A majority of the supersonic modes considered are dominantly forced by the direct route. However, when considering Mach waves that are, like in direct numerical simulations, forced from the buffer layer of the flow, the indirect route of forcing becomes significant. We find that these observations are also valid for a streamwise developing boundary layer. These results are consistent with, and extend the observations in the literature regarding the solenoidal and dilatational components of velocity in compressible turbulent wall-bounded flows. |
