Bubble friction drag reduction in a high-Reynolds-number flat-plate turbulent boundary layer

Turbulent boundary layer skin friction in liquid flows may be reduced when bubbles are present near the surface on which the boundary layer forms. Prior experimental studies of this phenomenon reached downstream-distance-based Reynolds numbers (

Here, a near-zero-pressure-gradient flat-plate turbulent boundary layer was generated on a 12.9 m long hydraulically smooth flat plate that spanned the 3 m wide test section. The test surface faced downward and air was injected at volumetric rates as high as 0.38 m
