A spanwise traveling wave of blowing and suction method is applied to reduce the drag in a turbulent channel flow with \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$Re_{\tau }=180$$\end{document}. The direction of the traveling wave reverses periodically to generate a similar oscillatory spanwise motion as the wall oscillation. Results from direct numerical simulations show that the blowing and suction control can achieve a slightly smaller drag reduction, compared with the wall oscillation with a same optimal period and strength. The pressure-strain correlation is found related to the drag reduction closely.
