- Additional information
- This paper demonstrated, for the first time, that in-plane passive wall fluctuations can decrease friction drag in fully turbulent wall-bounded flows. This work was influential in setting the research agenda of AkzoNobel International Paint [AkzoNobel contact available] the world leader manufacturer of marine coatings, who sponsored the research. For example, these results show that a well-designed (anisotropic) coating can enable substantial fuel savings for merchant ships.
