Coherent structure modulation and recovery in drag-reduced turbulent boundary layers

Traian Bistriceanu, Vyacheslav A. Kovalyov, Pradyumn Mishra +3

Drag reduction is achieved by a steady square-wave forcing of the spanwise wall velocity, based on the experiments in Knoop et al. (Phys. Rev. Fluids, 10, 2025). Particle tracking…

Measurements of non-linear energy transfer in canonical and drag-reduced turbulent boundary layers

Max W. Knoop, Bas W. van Oudheusden, Rahul Deshpande

Three-dimensional particle-tracking velocimetry (3D-PTV) measurements were used to compute the spectral transport of the Reynolds-stress tensor. The experimental framework is valid…

Turbulent boundary layers altered by passively rotating discs

Max W. Knoop, Pierre Ricco

Turbulent boundary layers characterised by friction Reynolds numbers in the range and flowing over flush-mounted passively rotating discs are investigated in a…

Passive transverse forcing of turbulent boundary-layer flow using sinusoidal surface grooves

Max W. Knoop, Bas W. van Oudheusden, Luuk Pelkmans +1

A surface geometry consisting of parallel, meandering streamwise grooves has been experimentally studied as an alternative means of passive transverse forcing of turbulent boundary…

Response of a turbulent boundary layer to steady, square-wave-type transverse wall-forcing

Max W. Knoop, Rahul Deshpande, Ferry F. J. Schrijer +1

This study investigates the spatial evolution of a zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer (TBL) imposed by a square-wave (SqW) of steady spanwise wall-forcing, which varie…

Experimental assessment of square wave spatial spanwise forcing of a turbulent boundary layer

Max W. Knoop, Friso H. Hartog, Ferdinand F. J. Schrijer +3

We present an experimental realisation of spatial spanwise forcing in a turbulent boundary layer flow, aimed at reducing the frictional drag. The forcing is achieved by a series of…
