Large-scale coherent motions were investigated experimentally in a d-t
ype rough wall boundary layer modified with longitudinal thin ribs. Hi
gher-order moments and conditional averaged statistics were obtained a
t R(theta)=1 300 and 5000, where the local skin friction coefficients
of modified flow are the same as and about 17% larger than those of sm
ooth wall flow. The magnitude of triple velocity correlations is reduc
ed in most-of the layer by drag reduction control using longitudinal t
hin ribs. The higher-order moments and conditional averaged signals ob
tained by the VITA analysis show that the turbulence production model
with a pair of streamwise vortices interacting with outflow from the r
oughness grooves is reasonable.
