The injection of gas bubbles into a turbulent boundary layer of a liquid phase has multiple
different impacts on the original flow structure. Frictional drag reduction is a phenomenon …

Ventilation is relevant to the performance, safety, and controllability of marine vessels,
propulsors, and control surfaces that operate at or near the free surface. The objectives of …

Superhydrophobic surfaces have the potential to reduce the viscous drag of liquids by
significantly decreasing friction at a solid-liquid interface due to the formation of air layers …

This paper presents systematic comparisons of experiments against fluid structure
interaction (FSI) simulations for flat water plate entry. Special focus is attributed on …

Frictional drag reduction using repetitive bubble injection is investigated in a turbulent
boundary layer beneath a 36-m-long flat-bottom model ship towed at 8.0 m/s. Bubbles are …

A variety of skin-friction drag reduction (FDR) methods for turbulent boundary layer (TBL)
flows are reviewed. Both passive and active methods of drag reduction are discussed, along …

Air lubrication adopting repetitive bubble injection was examined in a facility of high-speed
turbulent channel flow. The bulk water velocity in the channel was controlled from 5.0 to 7.0 …

In the present study, the experimental set-up of Ganesh et al.(J. Fluid Mech., vol. 802, 2016,
pp. 37–78) is used to examine the dynamics of a shedding cavity by examining the vapour …

The objective of this paper is mainly to investigate the ventilated cavitating flow around an
axisymmetric body with a focus on the gas leakage mechanisms via combining experimental …

In an effort to cope with the global warming environment and oil prices, the development of
energy-saving ships is greatly anticipated by the ship** industry. Air lubrication is one of …
