Learning from the Dolphin: A review of compliant walls for skin-friction drag reduction in marine applications - (PPT)

摘要

Demonstrated, both experimentally and theoretically, that compliant coatings are capable of extending laminar flow... Hence skin-friction drag reduction. Design of effective compliant coatings requires a sound knowledge of the diversity of waves that can exist within the flow-structure system. There is the prospect of indefinitely postponing transition by using arrays of compliant panels each of which is optimised for local flow conditions.
