Patent

CA 2618808

The invention relates to a layer (1) for reducing air resistance of a forward- moving object, which layer comprises : - a pattern of surfaces (2) rising in a first direction (R) ; and - channels (3) running between the surfaces in a second direction at an angle to the first direction. A flow is brought about on a micro-scale in the channels which damps the occurrence of turbulence in the main flow over the surface, thereby reducing air resistance.

L'invention concerne une couche (1) destinée à réduire la résistance à l'air d'un objet se déplaçant vers l'avant, laquelle couche comprenant : - un motif de surfaces (2) avançant dans une première direction (R) ; et - des canaux (3) s~écoulant entre les surfaces dans une seconde direction formant un angle avec la première direction. Un écoulement est provoqué à une micro-échelle dans les canaux ce qui atténue l'occurrence de la turbulence de l'écoulement principal sur la surface, réduisant de ce fait la résistance à l~air.
