Abstract
To analyze the fundamental physical mechanism which determines the damping effect of a riblet surface on three-dimensional oblique transition numerical simulations of a spatial evolving zero-pressure gradient boundary layer above a clean and a riblet wall are performed. The laminar flow is excited by two oblique waves to force the oblique transition scenario. The occurring three-dimensional structures, i.e, Λ and streamwisely aligned vortices are found to be damped and their breakdown to turbulence is damped by the riblets compared to a clean surface. The investigation of the near-wall flow structures reveals secondary flows induced by the riblets.
