Book Description
The objective of this project is to improve our fundamental knowledge of turbulent flows over rough surfaces. Specifically, we hope to investigate the manner in which roughness affects the near-wall drag-producing turbulent structures, and to what extent surface roughness affects the outer part of rough-wall boundary layers. Ultimately we hope to use this knowledge to propose control strategies to reduce momentum loss in rough-wall boundary layers.

Book Description
The paper describes a detailed experimental study of turbulent boundary layer development over rough walls in both zero and adverse pressure gradients. Skin friction was determined by pressure tapping the roughness elements and measuring their form drag. Two wall roughness geometries were chosen each giving a different law of behaviour. However, it has been found that results for both types of roughness correlate with a Reynolds number based on wall shear velocity and on the distance below the crests of the elements from which the logarithmic distribution of velocity is measured. One important implication of this is that a zero pressure gradient boundary layer with a cavity type rough wall conforms to Rotta's condition of precise self preserving flow. (Author).

Book Description
At sufficiently high Reynolds number, all surfaces are rough, and roughness affects most flows in engineering and the natural sciences. Examples range from atmospheric boundary layers over buildings and canopies, to engineering surfaces with erosion, deposits, etc. To study the roughness effects, we take a high-resolution approach to capture the flow around individual roughness elements using direct and large-eddy simulations (DNS and LES); the goal is to elucidate phenomena which have been difficult to access using physical experiments, and to help develop engineering correlations and models. First, most experiments and turbulence models are based on a standardized type of roughness, sand-grain roughness, which can be described using a single length scale. The relationship between the geometry of an arbitrary surface and the canonical one must be known, to predict critical flow parameters such as the drag, using either experimental correlations or turbulence models. Using numerical experiments, we relate this length-scale to the roughness geometry, and propose a guideline for its prediction in the industrial setting. Next, to explain the dependence of drag on the topographical details, we examine the role of the wake of the roughness elements in the drag generation of a rough surface. The wake field is found to promote vertical momentum transfer and near-wall instability; it might provide a link between geometry details and the engineering modeling of roughness effects. Lastly, we focus on a more realistic flow scenario -- the one with freestream accelerations -- and study the combined effects of roughness and acceleration, a phenomenon widely present in engineering flows over airfoils or complex landscapes. It is first shown, by comparing equilibrium accelerating flows obtained in the present study with the non-equilibrium flows in the literature, that the roughness and acceleration effects are interdependent and depend on the flow equilibrity. Then, using DNS data of a spatially developing flat-plate boundary layer, it is found that the effect coupling develops as the roughness affects the turbulence time scale and thus the flow susceptibility of the acceleration stabilization, while acceleration changes the wake velocity and ultimately the roughness destabilization level.

Book Description
Thick, fully rough, and transitionally rough turbulent boundary layers were studied in order to investigate the differences between fully rough and transitionally rough behavior and to observe how downstream development affects these flows as the boundary layers become very thick. Measurements included Stanton numbers, skin friction coefficients, mean temperature and velocity profiles, Reynolds stress tensor component profiles, and spectra of the longitudinal velocity fluctuations. Predictions of wall heat transfer, wall shear, and mean profiles were made using a mixing-length and turbulent Prandtl number closure scheme which accounted for the effects of wall roughness in the boundary layer equations. The turbulent layers were artificially thickened using an array of solid obstacles which produced a two-dimensional equilibrium flow field with properties representative of natural bounday layers, at least up to the level of the turbulent correlations on a smooth wall, and to the level of the spectra of longitudinal velocity fluctuations on a rough wall. A rough-wall boundary layer environment was provided in which all measurements of lower order than the turbulence correlations could be discussed regarding the influence of roughness, and considered to have properties representative of natural behavior.
