Summary

Effects of surface corrugation on turbulent flow in a boundary layer are studied using a model based on the direct resonance theory. The induced mean flow due to weakly nonlinear waves, superimposed on the mean and fluctuating components of turbulence, is determined. The mean turbulent flow is affected by the surface corrugation throughout the boundary layer. The corrugated surface generates higher harmonics and affects the streamwise vortices generated by the waves superimposed on turbulence whose mean flow includes secondary induced mean flow components due to the corrugation.
