Manipulation of Reynolds Stress for Separation Control and Drag Reduction (MARS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"Reynolds stress is the most important quantity affecting the mean flow as it is responsible for a major part of the momentum transfer in the wall bounded turbulent flow. It has a direct relevance to both skin friction and flow separation. Manipulation of the Reynolds stress can directly lead to changes in the viscous stress at the wall so as to effectively control the flow for effective flow cont ...
