Tailoring aircraft surface textures to minimise drag

该项目旨在优化纹理表面，以减少流体动力阻力。该项目建立在阻力评估方法和相关物理方面的最新突破之上。减少阻力是有价值的，因为它提高了飞机和船舶的运营成本。预期的结果是最佳的减阻表面纹理，对减阻机制的进一步物理理解以及改进的减阻表面建模能力。该项目预计将有利于澳大利亚和全球的运输和物流业。

This project aims to optimise textured surfaces for reducing fluid dynamic drag. The project builds on recent breakthroughs in drag-evaluation methods and the associated physics. Reducing drag is valuable because it raises the costs of operating aircraft and ships. The intended outcomes are optimal drag-reducing surface textures, a further physical understanding of drag-reduction mechanisms and an improved modelling capability of drag-reducing surfaces. This project is expected to benefit the transport and logistics industries in Australia and globally.
