In this study, we explore the effect of phenylmethylsilicone oil (PSO) addition amount and viscosity in a fouling release coating based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The surface properties, mechanical properties, anti-fouling and drag-reduction performance of the coating were studied. Meanwhile the influence of the basic properties of the coating on the anti-fouling and drag-reduction performance was also studied. Subsequently, the antifouling performance of the coating was investigated by the Navicula Tenera and bacteria adhesion test. As a result, the high content of PSO paint has a high foul removal rate. The incorporation of PSO into paint can reduce the elastic modulus and surface energy of the coating to reduce its relative adhesion factor (RAF). The lower the RAF, the better the antifouling effect of the coating. The drag-reduction performance of the coating was verified by the torque selection experiment, and the results showed that incorporation of PSO into paint can enhance the elongation and hydrophobicity of the coating, thereby increasing the drag reduction rate of the coating.

Fouling-release coatings reinforced with micro-alumina and nano-alumina were prepared based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) containing phenylmethylsilicone oil. The surface properties, mechanical properties, leaching behavior of silicone oil, anti-fouling and drag-reduction performance of the coating were studied. The results show that the addition of alumina can significantly improve the tensile strength, elastic modulus and Shore’s hardness of the coating. The adhesion experiments of marine bacteria and Navicula Tenera show that the addition of alumina can reduce the antifouling performance of the coating, which is related to the stripping mode of fouling organisms. The fouling organisms leave the coating surface by shearing, and the energy required for shearing is proportional to the elastic modulus of the coating. At 800–1400 rpm, the addition of alumina will reduce the drag reduction performance of the coating, which is related to the drag reduction mechanism of PDMS. PDMS counteracts part of the resistance by surface deformation. The larger the elastic modulus is, the more difficult the surface deformation is. The experiment of silicone oil leaching shows that the increase of alumina addition amount and the decrease of particle size will inhibit the leaching of silicone oil.

Fouling Release

In this study, phenylmethylsilicone oil (PSO) with different viscosity was used for research in fouling release coatings based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The surface properties and mechanical properties of the coatings were investigated, while the leaching behavior of PSO from the coatings was studied. Subsequently, the antifouling performance of the coatings was investigated by the benthic diatom adhesion test. The results showed that the coatings with high-viscosity PSO exhibited high levels of hydrophobicity and PSO leaching, while the high PSO content significantly decreased the elastic modulus of the coatings and prolonged the release time of PSO. The antifouling results indicated that the incorporation of PSO into coatings enhanced the antifouling performance of the coating by improving the coating hydrophobicity and decreasing the coating elastic modulus, while the leaching of PSO from the coatings improved the fouling removal rate of the coating. This suggests a double enhancement effect on the antifouling performance of fouling release coatings based on PDMS with PSO incorporated.

Friction Drag Reduction

A numerical investigation of two locally applied drag-reducing control schemes is carried out in the configuration of a spatially developing turbulent boundary layer (TBL). One control is designed to damp near-wall turbulence and the other induces constant mass flux in the wall-normal direction. Both control schemes yield similar local drag reduction rates within the control region. However, the flow development downstream of the control significantly differs: persistent drag reduction is found for the uniform blowing case, whereas drag increase is found for the turbulence damping case. In order to account for this difference, the formulation of a global drag reduction rate is suggested. It represents the reduction of the streamwise force exerted by the fluid on a plate of finite length. Furthermore, it is shown that the far-downstream development of the TBL after the control region can be described by a single quantity, namely a streamwise shift of the uncontrolled boundary layer, i.e. a changed virtual origin. Based on this result, a simple model is developed that allows the local drag reduction rate to be related to the global one without the need to conduct expensive simulations or measurements far downstream of the control region.

Flying bird has gradually formed airworthy structures e.g. streamlined shape and hollow shaft of feather to improve flying performance by millions of years natural selection. As typical property of flight feather, herringbone-type riblets can be observed along the shaft of each feather, which caused by perfect alignment of barbs. Why bird feather have such herringbone-type riblets has not been extensively discussed until now. In this paper, microstructures of secondary feathers are investigated through SEM photo of various birds involving adult pigeons, wild goose and magpie. Their structural parameters of herringbone riblets of secondary flight feather are statistically obtained. Based on quantitative analysis of feathers structure, one novel biomimetic herringbone riblets with narrow smooth edge are proposed to reduce surface drag. In comparison with traditional microgroove riblets and other drag reduction structures, the drag reduction rate of the proposed biomimetic herringbone riblets is experimentally clarified up to 15%, much higher than others. Moreover, the drag reduction mechanism of herringbone riblets are also confirmed and exploited by CFD.

Microgrooved Surface

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 the vortex ‘cushioning’ and ‘driving’ effects produced by the vortexes in the microgrooves were the main reason for obtaining a drag reduction effect. The shear stress of the microgrooved surface was reduced significantly owing to the decline of the velocity gradient. Altogether, bionic pipelines achieved drag reduction effects both in a pipeline and in a concentric annulus flow model. The primary and secondary order of effect on the drag reduction and optimal microgroove geometric parameters were obtained by an orthogonal analysis method. The comparative experiments were conducted in a water tunnel, and a maximum drag reduction rate of 3.21% could be achieved. The numerical simulation and experimental results were cross-checked and found to be consistent with each other, allowing to verify that the utilization of bionic theory to reduce the pressure loss of fluid transport is feasible. These results can provide theoretical guidance to save energy in pipeline transportations.

The resistance of ordinary potato digging shovels can increase dramatically when used in a clay soil because of the adhesion between the soil and shovel. In this paper, a new type of bionic potato digging shovel was designed to decrease adhesion. The bionic structural elements, i.e., scalelike units (S-U) were applied to the potato digging shovel with inspiration from pangolin scales. The discrete element method (DEM) considered cohesion was used to simulate the drag reduction performance in clayey soil conditions. An ordinary plane shovel (O-P-S) was used for comparison. Three indicators (total force, draft force and compressive force) were used to characterize the drag reduction performance. The effect of the design variables of the bionic structures (length [l] and height [h]) and the transversal and longitudinal arrangement spacing (S1 and S2) of the structures on the drag reduction performance were analyzed. The results showed that the drag reduction performance of the bionic shovels with suitable parameters was better than that of the O-P-S. The best bionic sample labeled as a bionic prototype had a 22.26% drag reduction rate during the soil bin test and a 14.19% drag reduction rate during the field test compared to the O-P-S.

Maximum Drag Reduction

According to the problem of large friction resistance exists between the sealing ring and the cylinder block when the piston cylinder works, the drag reduction technology of bionic concave surface was applied in the sealing ring. By building a drag reduction motion model of sealing ring with concave surface of triangular arrangement, the effect of drag reduction performance decided by concave diameter and piston velocity was studied with the method of numerical simulation. The results show that: when the piston velocity is fixed, the maximum drag reduction rate can be achieved with the concave diameter is 1.5mm, and the maximum drag reduction rate is 15.72%. Meanwhile when the diameter of the concave is fixed, the drag reduction rate increased gradually with the increase of initial speed, the drag reducing effect is best at the speed of 0.6m/s. In the process of piston movement, lubricating oil in concave shakes, and makes the lubricating oil flow to the inside wall of cylinder, which play the role of lubrication, so as to achieve the effect of reducing friction and increasing the movement speed of piston.

Control Behavior

Numerical simulation was used with SST turbulence model on the drag reduction characteristics of bionic jet surface, which clarified the reason that the bionic jet surface could reduce the frictional resistance and the control behavior to the flow field near the wall. Results show that when the area of the jet hole is constant, the higher the ratio of the length along the longitudinal direction of jet hole and that of jet surface is, the better the drag reduction effect is. With the jet speed and jet flux increasing, the drag reduction rate will increase gradually until the maximum of 35.97%. The frictional resistance of bionic jet surface will decrease by increasing the area of reverse flow and decreasing the velocity gradient of the wall; the control behavior of jet surface to boundary layer embodies the shear stress in the bottom of boundary layer caused by the reverse flow in the back flow surface is opposite to the main flow field direction when the shear flow near the wall converges the jet impedance, which causes the low speed reverse rotating vortex pair in the downstream of jet hole, the secondary vortex near the wall caused by the extent of reverse vortex towards the downstream can increase the boundary bottom layer thickness and decrease the velocity gradient and frictional resistance.
