Research has discovered that appropriately designed rough facade can trim down skin-friction drag. Scientists in University of California who conducted experiment on various hull designs landed on a surface roofed with tiny ridges as being finest for smooth maneuvering. They found that a rough surface reduced drag created by the friction of flowing water, even in irregular conditions. The … [Read more...]
