The unsteady boundary layer behavior of a supercritical laminar airfoil model, which undergoes limit cycle oscillations in pitch, is investigated by the application of hot-film anemometry. The data basis is a 2D flutter experiment under transonic flow conditions. The laminar airfoil model was elastically mounted with a single degree of freedom in pitch and performed self-excited limit cycle oscillations at a Mach number of Ma=0.73and a Reynolds number of Re approximate to 2x106An analysis of the hot-film signals on the basis of the quasi-wall shear stress is carried out, with which the boundary layer state for steady and unsteady flow is resolved. An algorithm is presented which allows an automated detection of the transition position, so that a correlation between airfoil motion and transition location movement can be quantified. A sudden movement of the boundary layer transition is observed at the upper and lower reversal points of the limit cycle oscillation, while in parts of the up- and downstroke of the laminar airfoil a shock-induced transition occurs. During the limit cycle oscillation, a delayed response of the boundary layer occurs, resulting in a significant phase lag between the movement of the boundary layer transition and the motion of the laminar airfoil.
