Abstract:

With the development of economy, the energy problem is becoming more and more seriously, which is closely related to resistance, and drag reduction means to save energy. Research on the technology of drag reduction plays an important role in the area of energy saving and its utilization rate enhancing. Using the method of bionic surface drag reduction to reduce the surface friction drag in a fluid medium has become a hot topic in the research area of drag reduction. Furthermore, through analyzing approaches of bionic surface drag reduction on the necessary of energy saving, energy utilization rate enhancing and drag reduction theory system improving, the research progress of the dynamic bionic non-smooth surfaces and bionic jet surface drag reduction technology are summarized in detail, the main trend of non-smooth drag reduction technology research and jet drag reduction technology is reviewed.
