Skin Friction Reduction

Possibility of turbulent skin-friction reduction in an incompressible boundary layer of a flat plate with air blowing through a microperforated surface consisting of alternating permeable and impermeable sections was studied experimentally and computationally. The mass flow rate of the air per unit area was varied in the range from 0 to 0.0709 kg/s/m2 , which corresponds to the maximum blowing coefficient equal to 0.00344. A consistent reduction of the local skin-friction values along the chord of the microperforated insert was found, the reduction achieving nearly 70 % at the end of the last active blowing sections, except the impermeable surface sections demonstrating, on the contrary, the skin friction increase: the longer section, the higher skin friction.

Skin Friction Reduction

The effect of air microblowing through a porous wall on the properties of a turbulent boundary layer formed on a flat plate in an incompressible flow is studied experimentally. The Reynolds number based on the momentum thickness of the boundary layer in front of the porous insert is 3 900. The mass flow rate of the blowing air per unit area was varied within Q = 0−0.0488 кg/s/m2 . A consistent decrease in local skin friction, reaching up to 45−47 %, is observed to occur at the maximal blowing air mass flow rate studied.

Skin Friction Reduction

In order to study the influence of heel on bubble layer shape and stability, based on Fluent and Mixture model, a numerical model was established to calculate bubble layer shape at the plate bottom at different main flow velocity, air flow rate and heel degree. The influence on bubble layer shape and skin friction reduction rate caused by heel was investigated. The results show that: bubble layer at the plate bottom spreads with the inflow transversely and longitudinally. When there is heel degree, bubble layer drifts to the smaller draft side. As heel degree increases, the drift of bubble layer becomes larger and the skin friction reduction rate decreases greatly. The local skin friction even increases greatly at the plate bottom apart from the air injection board. Both local void ratio and local friction reduction rate decreases in the longitudinal direction along the plate. Local void ratio is bigger than local friction reduction rate and the difference increases in the longitudinal direction along the plate.

Skin Friction Reduction

It is known that local skin friction can be reduced by injecting microbubbles into a trubulent boundary layer. However, so far the mechanism of the reduction has never been understood. In the present study, the objective is to understand the characteristics of a turbulent flow field containing microbubbles with an experimental approach in order that the mechanism for the skin friction reduction is clearly elucidated. In order to measure the flow with the microbubbles, a combination of PIV and LIF methods is developed. Measurements are carried out for a horizontal channel flow with microbubbles by which the skin friction is reduced. Modifications of the wall turbulence due to the injection of the microbubbles are discussed.

Local Skin Friction

A 9-ft and a 4½-ft reflex model of the Lucy Ashton were tested in a wind tunnel. Both pins and wires were used as stimulators to promote a turbulent boundary layer. The effects of the stimulators could be taken into account by considering the virtual origin of the turbulent boundary layer. Slightly different viscous drag curves were found for each model, both with a slope much steeper than previously anticipated. The skin friction was determined using two independent methods. Large increases and deficits in local skin friction coefficients were found at the bow and stern of the models respectively as compared with those for a two-dimensional flat plate.
