The effects of self-similar as well as uniform-suction distributions on the primary and fundamental parametric spatial and temporal instabilities of incompressible flows over a flat plate are studied. The Floquet model is used to analyze the fundamental instability. This model is also used to analyze the effect of wall shaping on such instabilities. The mean-flow problems as well as the stability problems are solved using finite differences. The effects of suction and wall shaping are evaluated and discussed in relation to previous works. The relation between spatial and temporal fundamental instabilities is also considered.
