Drag Reduction in Turbulent Boundary Layers with Half Wave Wall Oscillations

Spatial square waves with positive cycle are used as steady forcing technique to study drag reduction effects on a turbulent boundary layer flow. Pseudospectral method is used for performing direct numerical simulations on very high resolution grids. A smooth step function is employed to prevent Gib...
