On the optimal period of spanwise wall forcing for turbulent drag reduction
Maurizio Quadrio, Federica Gattere, Marco Castelletti +1
Turbulent channel flow controlled by spanwise wall oscillations is studied using direct numerical simulations to improve how spanwise forcing reduces skin-friction drag. Harmonic w…

The aerodynamic performance of a transonic airfoil with spanwise forcing
Niccolò Berizzi, Davide Gatti, Giulio Soldati +2
Spanwise wall forcing in the form of streamwise-travelling waves is applied to the suction side of a transonic airfoil with a shock wave to reduce aerodynamic drag. The study, cond…
