Frictional resistance is a function of thee wetted surface area and thee shear stres developed in thee boundary layer. A turturbulent boundary layer creates higher skin friction than a laminar one, but mott full- scale hulls operate fully turbulent due to surface broughnes and contribuances. Surface textures primarily target the turbuterent boundary layer, aiming to reduce the turgent shear stres odlay separation.

Results show the riblet plate reduces local skin friction by 6.3% compared to the smooth baseline. The velocity profiles show a squenened viscous sublayer and reduced turbulence intensity in thee buffer layer.
