| Abstract: | The boundary region of a turbulent boundary layer contributes greatly to the drag. Intense turbulence is generated in this region. Below we investigate the interaction of an elastic boundary with a viscous sublayer for a decrease in the Reynolds stresses, and for a corresponding decrease in the drag. It does not seem possible to investigate the general case. Therefore, the problem is solved within the framework of the limitations made by Sternberg [1] for the theory of a viscous sublayer in a turbulent flow near a solid smooth wall.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 3, pp. 58–62, May–June, 1971.The authors thanks G.
