Abstract
Opposition control of near-wall turbulence was carried out using a wall-normal jet from a piston-type actuator, by selectively cancelling the downwash of high-momentum fluid during the sweep events. By employing an innovative methodology we were able to study the effectiveness of the scheme without carrying out real-time control, overcoming experimental difficulties associated with the high-frequency responses required for the turbulence control. Observed changes of the burst signature in the turbulent boundary layer suggest that there is a possibility of reducing the skin-friction drag when opposition control is carried out with appropriate timing.
