Abstract

The present paper summarizes one of the latest experimental studies, undertaken at ONERA/CERT in subsonic flows. It deals with the efficiency of internal manipulators, commonly named by many researchers riblets, in three-dimensional boundary layer flows. The flow developing on both sides of an ONERA D section aerofoil, set at 22.5° angle of sweep, has been manipulated using different riblet vinyl adhesive films. These latter were covering almost 85% of the chord length. Total drag variations were estimated from Pitot tube surveys, performed at about one chord length behind the aerofoil trailing edge. Two chord Reynolds numbers have been considered: 2.65 105 and 4.25 105. On both sides of the aerofoil, grooves have been aligned with the free-stream flow direction. Skin-friction drag decreases of up to 5–6% have been recorded when the dimensionless rib height, scaled with wall units, is less than 15–20.
