发明名称 Drag reduction method and surface
摘要 Rearward facing microsteps (11, 12, 20, 21) are provided in a wall surface (10, 10a, 10b, 19, 19a, 19b) to reduce shear friction drag caused by wall surface bounded turbulent shear flows. Microsteps combined with phased tangential flow injection adjacent the microsteps are also described. These reduce the drag caused by eddy currents. The surface is useful in any setting where turbulent flow occurs to create eddy currents such as airplanes, boats, vehicles, conduits and the like.
