Direct numerical simulation for investigation on yaw angle effects on riblets
The yaw angle (φ) effect on riblets are investigated by parametrically conducted direct numerical simulation (DNS). Three configurations are adopted: standard straight riblet, sinusoidal riblet, and modified sinusoidal riblet. The height of the side wall

Combinatorial functions of two chimeric antibodies directed to human CD4 and one directed to the a-chain of the human interleukin-2 receptor [PDF]
The general feasibility of chimerization of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has already been shown for a large number of them. In order to evaluate in vitro parameters relevant to immunosuppressive therapy, we have chimerized and synthesized two anti-CD4 ...

Skin friction drag reduction over staggered three dimensional cavities [PDF]
The effect of three-dimensional staggered circular cavities on a zero-pressure gradient incompressible turbulent boundary layer was studied. Two key parameters were varied, being the ratio of the diameter, d, to the depth, h, of the cavity, d/h and the ...

A viscous vortex model for predicting the drag reduction of riblet surfaces
This paper introduces a viscous vortex model for predicting the optimal drag reduction of riblet surfaces, eliminating the need for expensive direct numerical simulations (DNSs) or experiments. The footprint of a typical quasi-streamwise vortex, in terms

Using Bio-Replicated Forming Technologies to Fabricate Shark-Skin Surface
Shark-skin surfaces show the non-smoothness characteristics due to the presence of riblet structures. In this work, biomimetic shark-skins were prepared by means of different bio-replicated forming techniques.

Controllable deformation based self‐adaptive drag reduction for complex surface
Reduction of energy consumption and improvement of cruising speed are greatly necessary for underwater vehicles. Previously, regular riblets have been machined and the drag reduction has been verified; however, the riblet parameters are not adjusted like
