Steady two‐dimensional laminar flows past an expansion ramp are known to exist up to a critical ramp angle in the limit c as the Reynolds number tends to infinity. The theory of viscous‐inviscid interaction combined with a local bifurcation analysis is used to study the evolution of three‐dimensional unsteady perturbations if $|\alpha - \alpha_c| \ll 1$ for both sub‐ and supercritical conditions. Special emphasis is placed on the effects of controlling devices and the phenomenon of bubble bursting. (© 2012 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
