Keywords: turbine blades, swept cylinder, streamwise & crossflow instabilities

Experimental observations of streaks are performed on a circular cylinder over an inclination range from zero to 610 sweep. The results cover the range between the zero sweep results of Kestin and Wood and the high sweep angles investigated by Poll.
