Abstract

Large eddy simulations have been conducted to gain further insight into the drag-reducing mechanisms of riblets in zero-pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer. The retained groove geometry achieves 9.8 % drag reduction on the controlled zone developing from \(Re_{\theta } = 670\) to 975. It is shown that the turbulent contribution to the drag—as defined by Fukagata et al. Phys. Fluids, 14(11):L73, 2002 [7]—is the most affected. In the light of the obtained results, energy and enstrophy budgets will finally conduct to isolate a key mechanism involved in the riblets drag reduction.
