Abstract
This study develops a more effective riblet pattern to reduce the skin friction in the turbulent boundary layer by using DNS. The optimized riblet pattern by the DNS is painted on a experiment airplane, the effects of the reducing skin friction is evaluated in flight.

Reasons for using JSS2
CFD (DNS) analysis are used for developing a optimized riblet pattern that is effective to reduce the skin friction in turbulent boundary layer.Huge calculation resources and costs are required for the high fidelity and quick response CFD analysis for obtaining the optimum riblet pattern. Use of JSS2 is indispensable for these requirements; the cost and time on the CFD analysis are drastically saved .
Achievements of the Year
We have performed a series of direct numerical simulations of a turbulent channel flow over riblets in order to understand the basic characteristics regarding the riblets for the flight testing in the ‘FINE’ project. Consequently, the performance of the riblets, i.e. a depednence of S^+ (a riblet spacing normalzied by wall units) on the drag reduction, have been successfully clarified.
