Nonlinear critical layers eliminate the upper branch of spatially growing Tollmien-Schlichting wavesThis letter is concerned with the effect of nonlinear critical layers on spatially growing Tollmien-Schlichting waves in a Blasius boundary layer. It is shown that they effectively eliminate the upper branch of the neutral stability curve predicted by strictly linear theory.
