By adopting a bionic riblet model based on the slip⁃boundary theory
the aerodynamic performance for the bionic drag⁃reducing airfoil was numerically investigated.The results suggest that the total drag of the bionic drag⁃reducing airfoil could reduce by 1.73%-3.07% and the lift⁃drag ratio could increase by 2.10%-4.08% when riblets are applied in turbulence regions of both pressure and suction surfaces.The main reason for the total drag reduction was attributed to the decrease of the viscous drag.Flow field analysis indicated that the velocity profile of the bionic drag⁃reducing airfoil had an uplift compared with the smooth airfoil
resulting in an increase of the viscous⁃sublayer thickness.The aerodynamic performance was then improved.
