Direct numerical simulations of turbulent flows over riblet-mounted surfaces are performed to educe the mechanism of drag reduction by riblets. Numerical simulations are performed for flow fields with R $e_$\tau$/=180. For riblet ridge angle $\alpha$=60$^{\circ}$, two different riblet spacings of $s^+/=20 and 40 are used in this study. The computed drag on the riblet surfaces is in good agreement with existing computational and experimental data. The mean velocity profiles show upward and downward shifts in the log-law for drag-decreasing and drag-increasing cases, respectively Turbulence statistics above the riblets are computed and compared with those above a flat plate. The purpose of this study is in two categories: first, to understand the drag reduction mechanism on riblet surface, second, to verify our own code by comparison of the present results with those from previous studies.udies.

We visualized the rupturing of liquid films flowing over a disk rotating with large angular velocity. A setup of high speed imaging for liquid flows on dark and reflective surfaces are suggested. From the result, rivulet structures are revealed to be strongly governed by three-dimensional surface structures developed in the film flow. Additionally, unique flow structures including the rivulet sliding and internal meandering are investigated. Generation mechanism of such structures are discussed in terms of the dynamic contact angle theory.

The near-wall flow structures of turbulent boundary layer over riblets having semi-circular grooves were investigated experimentally for the drag decreasing ($s^+=25.2$) and drag increasing ($s^+=40.6$) cases. The field of view used for tho velocity field measurement was $6.75{\times}6.75mm^2$ in physical dimension, containing two grooves. One thousand instantaneous velocity fields over the riblets were extracted for each case of drag increase and decrease. For comparison, five hundreds instantaneous velocity fields over a smooth flat plate were also obtained under the same flow conditions. To see the global flow structure qualitatively, the flow visualization was also performed using the synchronized smoke-wire technique. For the drag decreasing case ($s^+=25.2$), most of the streamwise vortices stay above the riblets, interacting with the riblet tips. The high-speed in-rush flow toward the riblet surface rarely influences the flow inside tho riblet valleys submerged in the viscous sublayer. The riblet tips seem to impede the spanwise movement of the longitudinal vortices and induce secondary vortices. The turbulent kinetic energy in the riblet valley is sufficiently small to compensate the increased wetted area of the riblets. In addition, in the logarithmic region, the turbulent kinetic energy are small or almost equal to that of a smooth flat plato. For the drag increasing case ($s^+=40.6$), however, the streamwise vortices move into the riblet valley freely, interacting directly with the riblet inner surface. The penetration of the high-speed in-rush flow on the riblets increases tho skin-friction. The turbulent kinetic energy is increased in the riblet valleys and even in the outer region compared to that over a flat plate.

Turbulent boundary-layer over a micro-riblet film(MRF) was investigated experimentally. The MRF has sharp V-shaped micro scale grooves of $300{\mu}m$ in width and $176.8{\mu}m$ in height. Particle image velocimetry(PIV) system was employed to measure velocity fields of flow over the MRF coated plate. Flow over a smooth plate was also measured for comparison. The PIV measurements were taken in the streamwise wall-normal planes at Re$\theta$= 985 and 2342. Vortex structures of the flow were analyzed by extracting the swirling strength as an unambiguous vortex-identification criterion. As a result the number of spanwise vortices with clockwise(negative) rotation decreases rapidly in the near-wall region(y<0.2h), but decreases slowly in the outer region(0.2h

Riblets with longitudinal grooves along the streamwise direction have been used as an effective flow control technique for drag reduction. A flexible micro-riblet with v-grooves of peak-to-peak spacing of $300{\mu}m$ was made using a MEMS fabrication process of PDMS replica. The flexible micro-riblet was attached on the whole surface of a NACA0012 airfoil with which grooves are aligned with the streamwise direction. The riblet surface reduces drag coefficient about $7.9{\%}\;at\;U_o=3.3m/s$, however, it increases drag about $8{\%}\;at\;U_o=7.0m/s$, compared with the smooth airfoil without riblets. The near wake has been investigated experimentally far the cases of drag reduction ($U_o\;=\;3.3 m/s$) and drag increase ($U_o\;=\;7 m/s$). Five hundred instantaneous velocity fields were measured for each experimental condition using the cross-correlation PIV velocity field measurement technique. The instantaneous velocity fields were ensemble averaged to get spatial distribution of turbulent statistics such as turbulent kinetic energy. The experimental results were compared with those of a smooth airfoil under the same flow condition. The micro-riblet surface influences the near wake flow structure largely, especially in the region near the body surface

Wake structures behind two circular cylinders with different groove configurations(U and V-shape) have been investigated experimentally. The results were compared with those for the smooth cylinder having the same diameter D. The drag force, mean velocity and turbulent intensity profiles of wake behind the cylinders were measured with varying the Reynolds number in the range of Re(sub)D=8,000∼14,000. As a result, the U-shaped groove was found to reduce the drag up to 18.6%, but the V-shaped groove reduced drag force only 2.5% compared with the smooth cylinder. As the Reynolds number increases, the vortex shedding frequency becomes a little larger than that of the smooth cylinder. The visualized flow using the smoke-wire and particle tracing methods shows the flow structure qualitatively.

Turbulent structure of a boundary-layer over a flat plate coated with micro riblet film(MRF) has been investigated experimentally. The turbulent structure was visualized using a dynamic particle image velocimetry (Dynamic PIV) system. We identified the vortex structures from 2-D velocity field data by applying the complex eigenvalue definition. The velocity field images acquired by using the complex eigenvalue definition showed the whole 2-D vortex structures clearly. In addition, the spatial distributions of small-scale vortices as well as large-scale vortices were obtained with high accuracy. The difference of vortex structures between the MRF coated flat plate and the smooth flat plate was analysed in detail. With varying upstream flow speed, the characteristics of vortex structure over the MRF coated flate plate was compared with those over the smooth flat plate.

An experimental investigation has been carried out for two circular cylinders having different groove configurations(U and V-shape). The results were compared with those for the smooth circular cylinder. The drag force, mean velocity and turbulent intensity profiles of wake behind the cylinders were measured with varying the Reynolds number $Re=8000{\sim}14,000$ based on the cylinder diameter. As a results, the U-groove circular cylinder was found to be most effective riblet shape with reducing the drag up to 21%. As the Reynolds number increases, the vortex shedding frequency of the grooved cylinders becomes a little larger, compared to the smooth cylinder. The flow visualization using the smoke-wire technique was also carried out to see the flow structure qualitatively.

수치해석을 이용한 항공기 착빙 형상 예측의 정확도 향상을 위하여 거칠기 분포 예측이 가능한 해석적 모델이 개발되고 있다. 그러나 표면의 상태에 대한 정량적인 실험 결과가 거의 없어 해석적 모델을 검증하고, 경험적인 변수를 결정하는데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 표면의 상태를 미시적 관점에서 분석하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 우선, 착빙 환경 변수인 온도와 자유류 속도에 따른 매끈한 표면의 넓이의 관계를 정량적으로 파악하였다. 그 결과 대기 온도가 높고 자유류 속도가 증가할수록 매끈한 표면의 넓이가 증가하였다. 그 다음으로 서리 얼음 표면과 유리얼음 표면의 특성을 분석하였다. 서리얼음 조건에서는 불투명한 원뿔 형태의 얼음 요소들이 유동 반대 방향으로 성장하고, 대기 온도가 증가함에 따라 원뿔 얼음 요소들의 길이와 간격이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 유리얼음 조건에서는 반투명한 얼음 덩어리를 날개 아랫면에서 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 원인은 중력의 영향이 큰 아랫면에서 주로 리블렛이 형성되고, 이와 같이 형성된 리블렛이 집중하여 얼어붙었기 때문이다.
