Abstract
The paper describes the results of studying the influence of a free-stream disturbance localized in time and space on the structure of the wake behind a symmetric droplet-shaped airfoil in the range of angles of attack from -20° to +20°. It is demonstrated that the existence of such a disturbance leads to suppression of vortex formation at certain angles of attack. Ranges of angles of attack in which the wake structure remains unchanged are found.
