The main flow considered is of Blasius type, while the disturbance modes are described by an Orr-Sommerfeld type equation and a Squire equation. These equations arc solved numerically using a shooting technique. The compliant coating proposed is a new one: a laminate compliant plate which is connected to the rigid base by a liquid viscous sublayer. After implementation of the matching conditions between the flow and solid coating, the governing equations are solved numerically for a particular geometrical model. Results are presented for the Tollmien-Schlichting instability regime. %8 2003-04-01
