Abstract A theoretical model for the instability of turbulent boundary layer over
compliant surfaces is described. The investigation of instability is
carried out from a time-asymptotic space-time perspective that
classifies instabilities as either convective or absolute.
Results are compared against experimental observations of surface waves
on elastic and viscoelastic compliant layers.
