Through millions of years' natural selection, sharkskin has
developed into a kind of drag-reducing surface. This book shows how
to investigate, model, fabricate and apply sharkskin's unique
surface properties, creating a flexible platform for surface and
materials engineers and scientists to readily adopt or adapt for
their own bio-inspired materials.Rather than inundate the reader
with too many examples of materials inspired by nature, sharkskin
has been chosen as the center-piece to illustrate accurate 3D
digital modeling of surfaces, complete numerical simulation of
micro flow field, different fabrication methods, and application to
natural gas pipelining. This is a must-read for any researcher or
engineer involved in bio-inspired surfaces and materials studies.
