The effect of acoustic excitation amplitude on boundary layer and wake development for a NACA 0025 airfoil was studied experimentally at low Reynolds numbers. Flow characteristics were investigated with hot-wire anemometry, surface pressure measurements, and flow visualization. A laminar boundary layer separation occurs on the upper surface of the airfoil, forming a separated shear layer, for all situations examined. When the flow is excited at the frequency matching the frequency of the most amplified disturbance in the separated shear layer, natural shear layer disturbances lock onto the excitation frequency and transition is promoted. In the case when the separated shear layer fails to reattach, an increase of the excitation amplitude above a minimum threshold eventually results in shear layer reattachment
