Abstract
In experiments on cavities behind various axisymmetric headforms, a pattern of waves or ripples with crests parallel to the separation line was observed on the cavity surface just downstream of separation. A theoretical analysis suggests that this pattern results from amplified instabilities in the separated laminar boundary layer on the cavity surface.
