Passive Turbulent Boundary Layer Control through 3D-Printed Dolphin Skin
… the efficacy of 3D-printed transverse sinusoidal grooves modeled after the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncates) skin to mitigate boundary layer separation as a form of passive flow control, energizing the flow near the wall. A water tunnel generates a tripped turbulent boundary layer …

An Investigation of Dolphin-Groove Inspired Surface Patterning on Flow Control
… mechanism that could result from the micro-grooves found on dolphin skin (Tursiops truncates). A water tunnel was used to study a turbulent boundary layer over rigid 3D printed plastic models, and an adverse pressure gradient was created with a rotating cylinder to induce flow separation in …
