| Popis: | Skin friction is a primary source of total aircraft drag. It is important, therefore, in science and engineering, to achieve drag reduction control in a boundary layer. In this paper, under the experimental conditions of Re θ = 5909 ( x/c = 0.55) and with a zero-pressure gradient, the drag reduction control of a plate boundary layer in porous media is studied. The global skin friction of the plate is measured using fluorescent oil film test technology. The results show that, in contrast with the downstream frictional resistance coefficient of a flat plate that possesses a smooth surface, the coefficient for porous media reduced significantly. Also, the lower the pores per inch (PPI) of the porous media, the greater the drag reduction effect. Among the three porous media with different PPI, porous media with ten PPI has the best drag reduction effect. With increasing distance from the porous media, the drag reduction effect decreases gradually. Porous media significantly increase the slope of the logarithmic region of the velocity profile of the downstream turbulent boundary layer, the dimensionless wall velocity u+ moves upward, and the velocity pulsation in the logarithmic region increases so as to reduce skin friction. |
