Abstract
We theoretically and numerically investigate the control effect of uniform blowing/suction (UB/US) in a turbulent plane Couette flow under a constant velocity difference (CVD) condition in terms of the net energy saving. The semi-theoretical upper bound of the ratio between UB/US amplitude and the wall velocity, Vw/Uw, for the net energy saving is about 0.45% at very low Reynolds numbers, i.e., Rew ∼ 103, while it is less than 0.05% at practically high Reynolds numbers, i.e., Rew ∼ 109-1010. According to the present simulations, however, it is found that the amplitude of Vw/Uw ≤ 0.1%, (i.e., the amplitude often used for external flows) is too small to obtain substantial control effects in this flow configuration, while the larger amplitude, i.e., Vw/Uw ≥ 0.3%, results in a negative net energy saving due to the drastic enhancement of the contribution from the blowing and suction.
