Model-based design of riblets for turbulent drag reduction
Wei Ran, Armin Zare, Mihailo R. Jovanović
Both experiments and direct numerical simulations have been used to demonstrate that riblets can reduce turbulent drag by as much as , but their systematic design remains an…

Stochastic receptivity analysis of boundary layer flow
Wei Ran, Armin Zare, M. J. Philipp Hack +1
We utilize the externally forced linearized Navier-Stokes equations to study the receptivity of pre-transitional boundary layers to persistent sources of stochastic excitation. Sto…

Modeling mode interactions in boundary layer flows via the Parabolized Floquet Equations
Wei Ran, Armin Zare, M. J. Philipp Hack +1
In this paper, we develop a model based on successive linearization to study interactions between different modes in boundary layer flows. Our method consists of two steps. First,…
