Fluid Dynamics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The effect of various parameters of the compliant surface on the interaction with wall turbulence is analyzed using the monoharmonic approximation. It is shown that the interaction is resonant in character and that for certain values of the parameters a considerable reduction in turbulent skin friction is possible.
