Drag reduction with the slip wall
AIAA Journal, 1996For rigid surfaces immersed in a flow, the no-slip condition on the wall holds. In simplistic terms, the basic idea of our slip wall is to release the no-slip condition to reduce drag. This is achieved with a belt that replaces the rigid wall. The moving belt, driven by the flow shear stress itself, reduces the velocity difference between mean flow and

Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 1991
Recent studies on the drag-reducing shapes, structures, and behaviors of swimming and flying animals are reviewed, with an emphasis on potential analogs in vehicle design. Consideration is given to form drag reduction (turbulent flow, vortex generation, mass transfer, and adaptations for body-intersection regions), skin-friction drag reduction ...

Aerodynamic Drag and Drag Reduction
41st Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2003An assessment of the role of fluid dynamic resistance and/or aerodynamic drag and the relationship to energy use in the United States is presented. Existing data indicates that up to 25% of the total energy consumed in the United States is used to overcome aerodynamic drag, 27% of the total energy used in the United States is consumed by transportation

The onset of drag reduction by dilute polymer additives, and the maximum drag reduction asymptote
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2000Drag reduction due to dilute addition of high polymers has been known for about fifty years. In spite of this long history, many aspects of the problem remain poorly understood. Two of its features for pipe flow are considered here in the context of the elastic theory of de Gennes: the onset of drag reduction and the so-called maximum drag ...

Comparison Between Microbubble Drag Reduction and Viscoelastic Drag Reduction
2011Both microbubble drag reduction (MBDR) and viscoelastic drag reduction (VEDR) are an effective method to reduce the frictional resistance of a turbulent boundary layer. The synergy effect of the combination of MBDR and VEDR puts more significance on the observation of the surfactant microbubbly flow. This paper reviews the main influencing factors, the

Stokes’ Mechanism of Drag Reduction
Volume 2: Symposia, Parts A, B, and C, 2003The mechanism of drag reduction due to spanwise wall oscillation in a turbulent boundary layer is considered. Published measurements and simulation data are analyzed in light of Stokes’ second problem. A kinematic vorticity reorientation hypothesis of drag reduction is first developed.

Over the past twenty-five years there has been extensive and sustained research aimed both at determining techniques for reducing skin friction drag and at explaining how successful techniques work. Certainly, one reason for pursuing this research is because of our need to drive systems faster and farther for the same power, but this is only part of ...

The subject of turbulence is by far too complicated to be handled in an introductionary chapter. Therefore, the goal of these notes is to introduce those elements of a description of turbulence which are relevant for representing the interaction of a turbulent flow field with dissolved or suspended additives.
