Aerodynamic Drag and Drag Reduction

41st Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2003
An 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

Comparison Between Microbubble Drag Reduction and Viscoelastic Drag Reduction

2011
Both 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
