Channel flow over large cube roughness: a direct numerical simulation study

Computations of channel flow with rough walls comprising staggered arrays of cubes having various plan area densities are presented and discussed. The cube height h is 12.5% of the channel half-depth and Reynolds numbers (u? h/?) are typically around 700 - well into the fully rough regime. A direct...
