Abstract:

Active drag reduction of a turbulent boundary layer has been experimentally investigated using periodic blowing through one array of streamwise slits. Local skin-friction drag exhibits a strong dependence on control parameters, including the blowing amplitude A+ and frequency f +. A maximum drag reduction of almost 70% has been achieved at x+=33 downstream of the actuators. The near-wall structure under control are measured using smoke-wire flow visualization, hot-wire and PIV techniques. All the results point to a pronounced change in the structure of the boundary layer and a significant increase of the mean energy dissipation rate.
