could counteract the higher wind speed, and so the wind
speed was depressed until the end of the model. In this
condition, the air was prevented from suddenly speeding
up. The same occurred on the dimple and dome bionic
models. So the bottom pressure of the model did not
change sharply, and the pressure drag reduced.
(2) Non-smooth structures reduce the surface vorticity
Because of the non-smooth surface, the lateral migration
of the eddy was blocked; the air could extend
only streamwise along the model. The eddy growth was
disturbed, and the derivational velocity was also reduced.
Another reason, because of the non-smooth surface, the
growth of tiny fluid micelle was also prevented. So the
large moment of inertia induced by large fluid micelle
was prevented. The reduction of vorticity reduced the
dissipation of the eddy. So the pressure drag could also
be reduced.
(3) Non-smooth structures make momentum layer
thinner in the boundary
As well as the mechanisms above, the relationship
between momentum thickness and the drag coefficient
can also explain the results. It was believed that the
development of pressure drag relies on the effect between
the momentum thickness and the stress layer one
another before the bottom of the model. The bionic
structures made the momentum layer thinner, according
to the relationship between the drag coefficient and the
momentum thickness shown in Eq. (3,th e reduction of
the momentum thickness leads to drag reduction.
