The custom-shaped honeycombs are used as stationary flow management devices which generate specific modifications of the streamwise velocity profile. Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry and pressure drop measurements are used to investigate and capture the development of the relaminarizing flow downstream these devices. We compare the performance of straight (constant length across the radius of the pipe) honeycombs with custom-shaped ones (variable length across the radius) and try to determine the optimal shape for maximal relaminarization at minimal pressure loss. The optimally modified streamwise velocity profile is found to be M-shaped, and the maximum attainable Reynolds number for total relaminarization is found to be of the order of 10,000. Consequently, the respective reduction in skin friction downstream of the device is almost by a factor of 5. The break-even point, where the additional pressure drop caused by the device is balanced by the savings due to relaminarization and a net gain is obtained, corresponds to a downstream stretch of distances as low as approximately 100 pipe diameters of laminar flow."}],"intvolume":"       141","volume":141,"year":"2019","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"}],"isi":1,"project":[{"_id":"25152F3A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Decoding the complexity of turbulence at its origin","grant_number":"306589","call_identifier":"FP7"}],"doi":"10.1115/1.4043494","author":[{"first_name":"Jakob","last_name":"Kühnen","id":"3A47AE32-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Kühnen, Jakob","orcid":"0000-0003-4312-0179"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-5227-4271","last_name":"Scarselli","first_name":"Davide","id":"40315C30-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Scarselli, Davide"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-2057-2754","id":"3A374330-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Hof, Björn","first_name":"Björn","last_name":"Hof"}],"publication":"Journal of Fluids Engineering","external_id":{"isi":["000487748600005"],"arxiv":["1809.07625"]},"publication_identifier":{"issn":["00982202"],"eissn":["1528901X"]},"ec_funded":1,"article_type":"original","citation":{"ista":"Kühnen J, Scarselli D, Hof B. 2019.
