摘要
An attempt to assess the total drag reduction that is due to riblets on a cambered airfoil up to high angles of attack at low speeds is presented. The 13% thickness general aviation wing [GAW(2)] airfoil section was chosen because of its strong relevance in many applications. The increased effectiveness of riblets in adverse pressure gradients up to a certain value of β, beyond which the effectiveness is reduced is demonstrated, presumably because of the strong deceleration of the boundary layer, which leads to separation on the airfoil upper surface.
