Computation fluid dynamics on drag reduction II by Zang, Bin

“…Both the flow pattern in the form of velocity contours and the quantitative drag coefficient are extracted and compared in several ways: single dimple along the wall with depth (h/D = 0.21); multiple (three) dimples along the wall with different separation distances between adjacent dimples; single dimple but with several other h/D ratios (i.e. 0.25, 0.14, 0.10, 0.08). …”
