A Review of Bionic Technology for Drag Reduction Based on Analysis of Abilities the Earthworm

Article Preview

Abstract:

The earthworm is a common terrestrial animal, its physical structure and morphology characteristics are very distinctive. Through of imitation of the special abilities of earthworms, people can get the material to research on bionic technology, such as the jet, non-smooth surface, etc. It can provide the new design ideas for engineering technology. The study of earthworm body structure and its movement mechanism, can help people to find the drag reduction method in the process of movement. In addition, the earthworm non-smooth body surface, dorsal pore jet, surface lubrication, electroosmosis and its unique moving way form a good drag reduction effect. Therefore, research on earthworm is instructive for the development of bionic technology.
