“…The temporal integration is done by a second-order explicit 5-stage Runge-Kutta method. A detailed description of the fundamental flow solver is given in [24] and a thorough discussion of the quality of its solutions in fully turbulent low Mach number flows is discussed in [3,26,27], in [28] intricate secondary flows are considered, and in [18] laminar-turbulent transition on riblet surfaces is considered.…”

The introduction of spanwise velocity is a promising technique to effect the near-wall turbulent flow field to influence friction drag. However, the essential physical mechanism which significantly reduces friction drag has not been understood, yet. It is the objective of this numerical study to improve the fundamental knowledge on the drag reduction mechanism. The investigation is based on spanwise traveling transversal surface waves which are applied to modify the near-wall flow field and to influence friction drag. Two actuation configurations are analyzed in detail. Compared with an unactuated flat plate boundary layer simulation the first wave setup, which represents a low frequency wave at an amplitude larger than the viscous sublayer, leads to a reduced wall-shear stress resulting in friction drag reduction of up to 9%. The second wave setup, which possesses a higher frequency and an amplitude in the range of the viscous sublayer, yields an increase of friction drag of about 8%. Unlike previous investigations which focus on excitation setups to lower friction drag, the comparison of the two wave setups in this study allows to identify the effects which on the one hand, lead to drag reduction and on the other hand, result in drag increase. That is, due to the pronounced differences the major effects determining the friction distribution are more evident. The two key features for drag reduction are the damping of the wall-normal vorticity fluctuations above the entire surface and the decrease of turbulence production. Furthermore, the effect of rearranging streamwise vorticity, which has been stated to be responsible for drag reduction, is found to occur at increasing and decreasing drag, i.e., it is not the effect that lowers the friction drag.

“…The papers referred to in [9,10] can be subdivided into three groups. Most simulations [10][11][12][13] deal with simple-angle film cooling (0°< a < 90°, b = 0°), while some [14,15] study the effect of the compound angle (0°< a < 90°, b -0°) and some others [16][17][18] consider cylindrical holes but non-cylindrical hole exits. Further work has focused on the interactions of multiple closely spaced holes [8,19].…”
