Experimental Investigations into Shark Skin Inspired Active Flow Control Mechanisms
… actively actuated flaps inspired by bristlingshark scales was studied experimentally using digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV).The flaps in this study had a rectangular shape and were designed with a protrusion heightin the bottom 10% of the boundary layer height, which is similar to …

Passive Flow Control with Shark Skin and the Relevance of Low Speed Streaks to Denticle Actuation
The shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) is one of the ocean's fastest and most agile predators. A mako's speed can reach as high as 40 m.s-1 [1]. Its exceptional speeds are due to many biological factors including its dermal denticles known as scales, which may be crucial to delaying flow …

Modelling and simulation in tribology of complex interfaces
… leaf) or fluid-dynamic drag reduction (e.g., the shark skin). This has suggested the study and development of hierarchical and/or bio-inspired structures for applications in tribology. Therefore, by taking inspiration from Nature, we investigate the effect of property gradients on the frictional …
