Active aerodynamic drag reduction on morphable cylinders

Active aerodynamic drag reduction on morphable cylinders

We study a mechanism for active aerodynamic drag reduction on morphable grooved cylinders, whose topography can be modified pneumatically. Our design is inspired by the morphology of the Saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea), which possesses an array of axial grooves, thought to help reduce aerodynami...
