Abstract
We examine the effect on near-wall turbulence of displacing the apparent, virtual origins perceived by different components of the overlying flow. This mechanism is commonly reported for drag-altering textured surfaces of small size. For the particular case of riblets, Luchini et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 228, 1991, pp. 87–109) proposed that their effect on the overlying flow could be reduced to an offset between the origins perceived by the streamwise and spanwise velocities, with the latter being the origin perceived by turbulence. Later results, particularly in the context of superhydrophobic surfaces, suggest that this effect is not determined by the apparent origins of the tangential ve..
