Net Power Saving for Actuated Turbulent Boundary Layer Flow • Performed parametric and grid-dependent study of the three-dimensional computational setup for actuated laminar boundary layer flow.• Reduced the three-dimensional setup to a two-dimensional one.• Designed and simulated the space spanned by the actuation parameters.• Derived the empirical law for the invested power for the one-dimensional parametric space using nonlinear regression.• Modeled the invested power for the two- and three-dimensional parametric spaces using support vector regression.• Coupled the drag reduction knowledge with the model for invested power.• Verified the input power model for the three-dimensional parametric space through high-resolution large-eddy simulation of actuated turbulent boundary layer flow.
