Drag of a corrugated plate in a rotating fluid
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 April 2006
Abstract
A corrugated plate is translating in a rotating fluid. Assuming low Reynolds number and small amplitudes compared to the Ekman thickness, a perturbation solution is found to second order. The resistance and power due to drag depend on the relative orientation of the corrugations with the motion. In certain instances, it is easier to move a corrugated plate than a flat plate in a rotating fluid.
