The problem of generation of vortex structures by ejection of a jet through an annular slot on a cylindrical surface in a longitudinal flow is considered. Results of modeling of large-scale vortices and their effect on local characteristics of the wall boundary layer are presented. The modeling is based on numerical integration of the Navier-Stokes equations in an axisymmetric formulation. An unsteady-state flow with separation and entrainment of vortices by the main stream is obtained. The decrease in the friction drag achievable in devices of this kind is estimated.
