Abstract
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.
