Hi,

I have a very general question, does having a rough wall increase the wall shear stress value? I am using a sst k-w closure if that matters.

Thanks,
A E

Hello,

Well, it depends on the type of roughness. If its scale is small compared with the viscous some layer size, you can have skin friction drag reduction and this is called riblet effect. The topic is very well explained into the works by Jimenez (Turbulent flows over rough walls) and Garcia-Mayoral (drag reduction by riblets).

Hope this help,

AliE
