Turbulent Drag Reduction by Spanwise Wall Oscillations
The objective of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of wall oscillation as a control scheme of drag reduction. Two flow configurations are considered: constant flow rate and constant mean pressure gradient. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved using Fourier-Chebyshev spectral methods and the oscillation in sinusoidal form is enforced on the walls through boundary conditions for the sp...

متن کاملTurbulent drag reduction by constant near-wall forcing
Computational experiments based on the direct numerical simulation of turbulent channel flow reveal that the skin friction can be reduced as much as 70% by the action of a localized steady force acting against the flow close to the wall. In addition, the excessive shear stresses observed during the laminar-to-turbulence transition can be substantially reduced. For a sustained reduction in the s...
متن کاملAdaptive Control of Wall-Turbulence for Skin Friction Drag Reduction and Some Consideration for High Reynolds Number Flows
During the last five years, we have made an extensive research and development study on active feedback control of wall turbulence during the course of the Project for Organized Research Combination System by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Technology of Japan (MEXT). The present paper introduces some major scientific and engineering accomplishments in our group. Especially, the ...
متن کاملSpanwise Variation in Circulation and Drag of Wings at Moderate Reynolds Number
The measurement and prediction of the aerodynamic performance of airfoils and wings at chord Reynolds numbersbelow105 arebothdifficult and increasingly important in the application to small-scale aircraft.Not only are the aerodynamics strongly affected by the dynamics of the unstable laminar boundary layer, but the flow is decreasingly likely to be two-dimensional as theReynolds number decrease...
