The subjects covered in this volume include riblets, LEBUs (Large
Eddy Break-Up devices), surface roughness, compliant surfaces and
polymer additives. Riblets seem to be one of the most extensively
studied devices in the past years. Reflecting this situation in the
European Community, there are six papers on riblets covering their
practical applications to aircraft and to a model ship, near-wall
coherent structure of boundary layer and effects of flow
three-dimensionality. Possibility of heat-transfer enhancement with
riblets and potential use in the laminar flow are also
investigated. An analytical model is developed for the
boundary-layer with a LEBU device. Physical mechanisms of turbulent
skin-friction reduction with LEBUs are reviewed in the light of
some recent studies. The d-type roughness is investigated in
conjunction with riblets for drag reduction. A correlation method
of roughness parameters with the drag penalties is also presented.
Two papers are devoted to further theoretical development of
compliant surfaces in transition delay. Probably one of the most
exciting recent developments in turbulence management is the use of
compliant surfaces in the turbulent boundary layer. There are two
papers describing some theoretical experimental work carried out on
this subject in the U.S.S.R. Some further studies on the effects of
polymer additives are also presented. The volume concludes with an
edited record of the lively panel discussions which provided a
useful forum to exchange views, plans for future research,
collaborative work and industrial applications of drag reduction
techniques.
