Abstract

Drag reduction in turbulent boundary layer flow via swept transversal surface waves is investigated by large-eddy simulations. For partially downstream traveling waves, a decreased friction drag reduction and positively contributing pressure drag are determined while the opposite occurs for partially upstream traveling waves. It is also shown that an amplification of the outer layer turbulence can coexist with a drag-reduced near-wall state.
