Design, Manufacture, and Testing of Compliant Coatings for Reduction of Turbulent Drag.

Abstract

The drag of three compliant coatings was measured in the DTNSRDC 36-inch water tunnel. Two coatings were of the 'Kramer' type, while the other one was a closed-cell neoprene foam. The drag of the 2.032-m (80-in.) long and 0.737-m (29-in.) wide compliant coatings was compared to the drag of a smooth, solid reference plate.
