Turbulent Boundary-Layer Drag Reduction

Abstract

This study was sponsored by DARPA, in the wake of ONR-sponsored JASON Study JSR-99-215 on Fast Transoceanic Transport (aka, "Fast Ships" study). The charge for this study is to focus on turbulent boundary-layer drag reduction, which was identified as necessary for transoceanic transport at high speeds, i.e., at speeds U3 75 knots
