Numerical simulation on drag reduction characteristics of flexible plate coupled with the shark skin mucus
The viscous numerical simulation is employed to investigate the drag reduction characteristic of flexible plate coupled with the mucus by using of the commercial software Ansys workbench.The simulation results show that the coupled method of flexible plate and mucus can do further good on drag reduction.In specific,at least 16.3%~21.2%drag reduction ratio can be achieved by using the coupled drag reduction method.
