An examination of trapped bubbles for viscous drag reduction on submerged surfaces / Kelly A. Stephani in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering, Vol. 132 N° 4 (Avril 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering > Vol. 132 N° 4 (Avril 2010) . - 09 p. Titre : An examination of trapped bubbles for viscous drag reduction on submerged surfaces Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kelly A. Stephani, Auteur ; David B. Goldstein, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : 09 p. Note générale : fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : flow  (dynamics);  measurement;  drag  (fluid  dynamics);  Reynolds  number;  bubbles;  drag  reduction;  flat  plates Résumé : Viscous drag reduction on a submerged surface can be obtained both in the limit of an unbroken gas film coating the solid and in the nanobubble or perhaps microbubble coating regime when an air layer is created with superhydrophobic coatings. We examine an intermediate bubble size regime with a trapped-bubble array (TBA) formed in a tap water environment using electrolysis to grow and maintain bubbles in thousands of millimeter-sized holes on a solid surface. We show that even though surface tension is sufficient to stabilize bubbles in a TBA against hydrostatic and shear forces beneath a turbulent boundary layer, no drag reduction is obtained. Drag measurements were acquired over Reynolds numbers based on plate length ranging from 7.2×104 DEWEY : 620.1 ISSN : 0098-2202 En ligne : http://fluidsengineering.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/issue.aspx?journalid=122 [...] [article] An examination of trapped bubbles for viscous drag reduction on submerged surfaces [texte imprimé] / Kelly A.
