Much of the current research in turbulent drag reduction centers on controlling locally individual streamwise vortices. These techniques involve complex closed loop control systems that become difficult or impossible to implement in practice. Extensive numerical simulation has suggested that introducing streamwise vorticity in the form of a transverse unsteady excitation can reduce drag far mor...

Students and researchers might have diverse ideas about motivations for citizen science (CS) projects. To prevent uncertainty, we address ethical concerns emerging in CS projects general, specifically, the transferability of skills knowledge gained within academia (e.g. through studying research conduct). We dedicate these Guidelines Research Ethics Integrity Citizen Science primarily to Master...
