We investigate the possibility of application of the Goore Scheme to turbulence control for drag reduction. In Part I, we examine the performance of the original Goore Scheme by applying it to a si mple one-dimensional problem. For the application of the scheme to turbulence control, we extend the scheme's capability so that it can treat multi-dimensional problems and examine its validity theoretically. The convergence of the extended scheme with a dynamic memory is faster by an order of magnitude than the original scheme. In Part II, we apply the proposed scheme to reduce drag for turbulent channel flows through direct numerical simulation.

In Part I, we extended the capability of the Goore Scheme for application to multi-dimensional problems and improved convergence performance. In this paper, we apply the improved Goore Scheme to th e control of turbulence for drag reduction. Direct numerical simulations combined with the control scheme are carried out to simulate a controlled turbulent channel flow at low Reynolds number. The wall blowing and suction is applied through the Goore algorithm using the total drag as feedback. An optimum distribution of the wall blowing and suction in terms of the wall-shear stresses in the spanwise and streamwise directions is sought. The best case reduces drag by more than 20 %.
