Abstract
This paper is concerned by the study of 2D incompressible and unstready flow over a wavy wall. The numerical procedure is based on the full Random Vortex Method algorithm. The use of a conformal mapping make it gridless. Separation and reattacheemnt mechanisms are tackled through the Lighthill mechanism relating the streamwise pressure gradient with the injected flux of vorticity at the wall. Different post-processing for the pressure and the wall shear stress allow the caracterization of unsteadiness sources in the shear layer and the recirculation. Finally drag reduction by considering the competition between the pressure drag and the viscous drag is adressed.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
