Abstract

The present numerical study attempts to demonstrate the moving surface riblets ef- fectiveness of altering separated-reattached transitional flows affected by adverse pressure gradient (APG). The European Research Community On Flow Turbulence and Combustion (ERCOFTAC) T3-C4 test case has been selected as benchmark for testing this dynamic wall-shaping effect. Among all the experiments performed in the well known T3 series the T3-C4 is the only one presenting a separated flow transition caused by the standing APG and a typical laminar separation bubble. The Reynolds number based on the flat plate length is 1.36 · 10^5 and this makes the usage of RANS and LES approach feasible for the numerical prediction. The k-kl-ω and k-e Launder-Sharma closure models have been used to assess the transition phenomenon with hydraulically smooth walls, firm surface riblets and riblets with a pre-determined motion. To achieve flow validation, outcomes are compared with wind-tunnel data and previously conducted numerical simulations.
