 Database: From Drag-Reducing Riblets to Drag-Increasing Ridges
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This database provides the measurement data presented in the journal article 
"From drag reducing riblets to drag increasing ridges" (doi:10.1017/jfm.2022.796).
It features high-precision pressure measurements in a wind tunnel facility along the test section
 and the corresponding flow rate used to determine the skin friction drag change of ribelts and ridges.
Datapoints for eight geometrically different sets of 2D  trapezoidal groove geometries are included.
Different orifice diameters are used to cover the bulk Reynolds number range $4500<Re_b<85000$ as specified in table 1.
The introduced index is used in the data files to mark the different orifices. 
Table 2 provides the physical dimensions of the investigated geometries. 
For more details refer to the journal article, figure 2 and table 2.
