Study on Riblet Drag Reduction Considering the Effect of Sweep Angle

This study computationally evaluates the riblet drag reduction effect considering the effect of sweep angle. An implicit large eddy simulation is performed on a channel flow and an infinite swept wing. First, three different inclined angles between the riblets and the flow direction are tested in th...
