Thesis Title
Riblet Surfaces to Reduce Drag on Ship Hulls
Research overview
A study reported that emissions from international shipping accounted for 2.89% of total global CO2 emissions in 2018, prompting policymakers to tighten emissions limits due to shipping activities. This policy encourages efforts to reduce ship fuel consumption, which is primarily influenced by ship drag. Super-hydrophobic surfaces and riblets are two new ways to reduce drag passively. Research shows that certain types of riblets can help reduce drag more effectively than others, and they may also protect the skin's surface from marine fouling. An objective such as finding the optimal riblet size and antifouling remains a challenge.
