Drag reduction in a flat-plate turbulent boundary layer flow by polymer additives
This paper presents a theoretical study on the velocity distribution and the friction factor of boundary layer flows with polymer additives starting from the concept of “stress deficit.” A novel method of order of magnitude analysis is developed, which converts the governing equations of boundary layer flow into a solvable ordinary differential equation, thus the total shear stress distribution...
متن کاملDrag reduction on a patterned superhydrophobic surface.
We present an experimental study of a low-Reynolds number shear flow between two surfaces, one of which has a regular grooved texture augmented with a superhydrophobic coating. The combination reduces the effective fluid-surface contact area, thereby appreciably decreasing the drag on the surface and effectively changing the macroscopic boundary condition on the surface from no slip to limited ...
متن کاملThe Lift and Drag on a Flat Plate at Low Reynolds Number via Variational Methods* By
The problem of determining the low Reynolds number lift and drag on a flat plate in Oseen flow is treated by the application of a variational principle due to Levine and Schwinger. This approach circumvents the difficulty which has limited previous results to drastically low values of the Reynolds number. In particular, an asymptotic form for the drag coefficient is derived, and found to be sui...
متن کاملTurbulent 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 کاملDrag on a Flat Plate in Low-Reynolds-Number Gas Flows
Airflow over a flat plate at zero incidence is investigated as a function of the Reynolds number Re and the Mach number M under subsonic, low-Reynolds-number conditions. The flows are simulated using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method and the information preservation (IP) method that is a modified DSMC method developed for low-speed rarefied gas flows. Good agreement is obtained be...
