VISCOUS DRAG REDUCTION ON AXISYMMETRIC BODIES USING HELICAL RIBLETS [PDF]
A series of subsonic wind tunnel tests was conducted on an ogive-cylinder-flare configuration at zero angle of attack to study the effects of small helical protuberances on viscous drag reduction behavior.

Method and apparatus for reducing the drag of flows over surfaces [PDF]
An apparatus, and its accompanying method, for reducing the drag of flows over a surface includes arrays of small disks and sensors. The arrays are embedded in the surface and may extend above, or be depressed below, the surface, provided they remain ...

High-efficiency laser fabrication of drag reducing riblet surfaces on pre-heated Teflon
Bio-inspired surfaces are able to decrease friction with fluids and gases. The most recognizable are shark-skin-like riblet surface structures. Such bio-inspired surfaces can be formed by the laser ablation technique.

Synthesis of Antenna Arrays of Maximum Directivity for a Specified Sidelobe Level
Linear and planar antenna arrays are synthesized to have maximum directivity for a specified sidelobe level. The directivity is maximized subject to a given SLL. The beamwidth and the zeros of array factor are studied as well as the directivity.
