An investigation on the drag reduction performance of bioinspired pipeline surfaces with transverse microgrooves

A novel surface morphology for pipelines using transverse microgrooves was proposed in order to reduce the pressure loss of fluid transport. Numerical simulation and experimental research efforts were undertaken to evaluate the drag reduction performance of these bionic pipelines. It was found that...
