Abstract	A new “minimal composite” theory that extends the approach of Govindarajan and Narasimha [1] is proposed here for 2D non-parallel compressible boundary-layer stability subject to 3D disturbances. The mean profiles are obtained from Horton’s analysis, which provides a good approximation for a large range of Prandtl numbers at non-zero pressure gradients. In the lowest order, all effects of order lower than O(R-2/3) anywhere in the boundary-layer are included, R being the local boundary-layer Reynolds number; the resulting non-parallel formulation yields a set of four ordinary differential equations, as compared to the five coupled equations of classical parallel flow theory of Mack [2]. The largest effect on stability of flow non-parallelism is found to be due to the wall-normal advection of velocity and temperature disturbance quantities by the mean flow. The present theory shows that the bulk viscosity, invariably included in compressible stability theories, is irrelevant at the lowest order. In comparison with the “full” [O(R-1)] non-parallel theory, the present theory is marginally better than the parallel flow theory.
