Shark-skin surfaces for fluid-drag reduction in turbulent flow: a review.
The skin of fast-swimming sharks exhibits riblet structures aligned in the direction of flow that are known to reduce skin friction drag in the turbulent-flow regime. Structures have been fabricated for study and application that replicate and improve upon the natural shape of the shark-skin riblets, providing a maximum drag reduction of nearly 10 per cent. Mechanisms of fluid drag in turbulent...
متن کاملFluid Drag Reduction with Shark - Skin Riblet Inspired
Inspired by designs found throughout living nature, researchers are reverse engineering the world’s fl ora and fauna to solve technical challenges. Much attention is given to structures and materials since living nature effi ciently uses resources and incorporates ingenious designs to survive. Therefore by using lessons from living nature, bioinspired designs are serving as the basis for many n...
متن کاملFlexible conformable hydrophobized surfaces for turbulent flow drag reduction
In recent years extensive work has been focused onto using superhydrophobic surfaces for drag reduction applications. Superhydrophobic surfaces retain a gas layer, called a plastron, when submerged underwater in the Cassie-Baxter state with water in contact with the tops of surface roughness features. In this state the plastron allows slip to occur across the surface which results in a drag red...
متن کاملDrag reduction in the turbulent Kolmogorov flow.
We investigate the phenomenon of drag reduction in a viscoelastic fluid model of dilute polymer solutions. By means of direct numerical simulations of the three-dimensional turbulent Kolmogorov flow we show that drag reduction takes place above a critical Reynolds number Re(c). An explicit expression for the dependence of Re(c) on polymer elasticity and diffusivity is derived. The values of the...
متن کاملWall-oscillation conditions for drag reduction in turbulent channel flow
The drag reduction properties of a turbulent channel flow modified by spanwise sinusoidal oscillations of the walls are investigated by direct numerical simulations. The work is based on the linear relation between the drag reduction and the parameter S, function of the maximum wall velocity and the period of the oscillation. This quantity, first determined by JI-Choi et al. (2002) and later st...
