Abstract:The study introduces a novel hybrid boundary condition, derived from existing literature, crafted for predicting the impact of riblets on airfoils in transitional flow. In contrast to models tailored for fully turbulent flow, the hybrid approach successfully captures the operational dynamics of riblets, as demonstrated through meticulous testing. The boundary condition integrates slip length and a modified specific dissipation rate (ω) boundary to encompass the entire riblet regime. Adjusting the model to matc… Show more
