Passive Control of Non-Canonical Flows with Anisotropic Porous Materials
Abstract
The objective of the proposed research is to use experiments and computational modeling to examine the characteristics of flows over high-porosity anisotropic porous material (APM) lattices. Recent advancements in manufacturing have enabled fabrication of structurally robust porous materials with tunable anisotropic porosities, but the application of such materials for passive control of flows remains underexplored. While most past studies in this arena have focused on drag reduction of zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers or turbulent channel flow, the current project will explore practically relevant flows, such as turbulent boundary layers with adverse pressure gradients and turbulent flow separation, as well as flow around surface mounted obstacles.
