文摘In this article,we review the recent progress in active control of a turbulent boundary layer for skin-friction drag reduction.Near-wall coherent structures,which are closely associated with large skin-friction drag and are thus often the target to be manipulated,are discussed briefly,providing a rationale of various control strategies.Open-and closed-loop controls are extensively reviewed,largely focusing on techniques and drag-reduction mechanisms.Finally,some concluding remarks are given.
