We review some fundamentals of turbulent drag reduction and the turbulent drag reduction
techniques using streamwise traveling waves of blowing/suction from the wall and wall …

The quest for reductions in fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions in transport has been a
powerful driving force for scientific research into methods that might underpin drag-reducing …

Reynolds-number dependence of turbulent skin-friction drag reduction induced by
spanwise forcing Page 1 J. Fluid Mech. (2016), vol. 802, pp. 553–582. c Cambridge …

A number of well-resolved large-eddy simulations (LES) of a spatially evolving turbulent
boundary layer with uniform blowing or suction is performed in order to investigate the effect …

We perform direct numerical simulations (DNS) of a turbulent channel flow over porous
walls. In the fluid region the flow is governed by the incompressible Navier–Stokes (NS) …

Flexible canopy flows are often encountered in natural scenarios, eg when crops sway in the
wind or when submerged kelp forests are agitated by marine currents. Here, we provide a …

Dimples are small concavities imprinted on a flat surface, known to affect heat transfer and
also flow separation and aerodynamic drag on bluff bodies when acting as a standard …

We seek possible statistical consequences of the way a forcing term is added to the Navier–
Stokes equations in the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of incompressible channel flow …

We use direct numerical simulation (DNS) to study drag reduction in a lubricated channel, a
flow instance in which a thin layer of lubricating fluid is injected in the near-wall region so as …

Abstract Large Eddy Simulations of zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers over
riblets have been conducted. All along the controlled domain, riblets maintain a significant …
