September 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Shark skin features denticles that help reduce drag in both turbulent and smooth water flows, with riblets on these denticles playing a key role by manipulating vortex interactions.
- - The review discusses advancements in manufacturing denticle-inspired structures and highlights the effectiveness of small-scale (sub-mm) designs in achieving significant drag reductions, particularly in low-speed flows.
- - Future research should explore various denticle shapes, their potential anti-fouling properties, and acoustic benefits, as insights gained could lead to more energy-efficient vehicles for monitoring the environment.
