Turbulent Flow over a Flexible Wall Undergoing a Streamwise Traveling Wavy Motion by Shen, Lian, Zhang, Xiang, Yue, Dick K.P., Triantafyllou, Michael S.

“…For negative c/U, we find that flow separation is enhanced and a large drag force is produced. For positive c/U, the results show that as c/U increases from zero, the separation bubble moves further upstream and away from the wall, and is reduced in strength. …”
