    Abstract

    Applying compliant-wall coatings to otherwise rigid surfaces can delay the onset of laminar-turbulent transition and offer marked reductions in skin-friction drag and energy consumption, particularly in marine applications.However, the complex dynamics that result from the coupling of fluid and structure give rise to system instabilities that may prevent drag-reductions in engineering applications.A computational method is developed to study such systems and aid the design of compliant-wall technologies.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
