Compliant coating research is one of those areas which experienced its fair share of
triumphs and debacles. For over forty years, the subject has fascinated, frustrated and …

The ability to actively or passively manipulate a flow field to bring about a desired change is
of immense technological and economical importance. This volume provides a thorough, up …

This brief article reviews the important developments in the field of compliant coatings that
took place in the past ten years. During this period progress in theoretical and computational …

This paper extends the resolvent formulation proposed by McKeon & Sharma (J. Fluid
Mech., vol. 658, 2010, pp. 336–382) to consider turbulence–compliant wall interactions …

The near-wall flow structure of a zero-pressure-gradient flat-plate turbulent boundary layer
with a single-layer viscoelastic compliant surface was visualized using the hydrogen-bubble …

Interaction of a compliant wall with a turbulent channel flow is investigated experimentally by
simultaneously measuring the time-resolved, three-dimensional (3D) flow field and the two …

Compliant walls offer the tantalising possibility of passive flow control. This paper examines
the mechanics of compliant surfaces driven by wall shear stresses, with solely in-plane …

Drag mitigation by passive surfaces with engineered material properties has gained
significant attention in low-speed flows. The present work investigates the skin friction drag …

The developments and involved factors of mature passive drag reduction technologies, ie,
compliant coating, superhydrophobic surfaces, and epoxy coating, are reviewed. Alterations …

This study examines the interactions of a compliant wall with a turbulent boundary layer as
the deformation scale increases from submicron to several wall units (δν). The friction …
