abstract = "Numerical analyses of turbulent boundary layer parameters and skin-friction drag reduction
on a flat plate under the effect of air micro-blowing with the use of the SST k−ω turbulence
model are performed. The macroscale characteristics of a huge number of microjets are simulated
by using a microporous wall model (MPWM) incorporated into ANSYS FLUENT by user-defined
functions. Numerical results obtained within the Mach number range M = 0.2–0.5 (Reynolds number Re = 2.88 · 10^6–7.20 · 10^6) confirm the experimental data of other researchers. Furthermore, a slight increase in the boundary layer thickness, displacement thickness, and momentum thickness, as well as a decrease in the velocity gradient and shear friction are well captured. In comparison to a simple flat plate, applying air micro-blowing reduces the skin-friction coefficient by 51% at the Mach number M = 0.4 and blowing fraction of 0.008. Additionally, the skin-friction coefficient decreases as the blowing fraction and Mach number increase.",
