摘要

Introduction: The reduction of drag is a crucial concern within the shipping industry as it directly influences energy consumption. This study addresses this issue by proposing a novel approach inspired by the unique ridge structure found on killer whale skin. The objective is to develop a non-smooth surface drag reduction method that can effectively decrease drag and improve energy efficiency for ships. Methods: The study introduces a technique involving the creation of transverse bionic groove surfaces modeled after the killer whale skin's ridge structure. These grooves are aligned perpendicular to the flow direction and are intended to modify the behavior of turbulent boundary layer flows that form around the ship's hull. Numerical simulations are employed using the Shear Stress Transport k-ω model to analyze the effects of the proposed groove surface across a wide range of flow conditions. The research investigates the impact of various parameters, such as the width-to-depth ratio (λ/A), groove depth, and inlet velocity, on the drag reduction performance of the bionic groove surface. Results: The study reveals several key findings. Optimal shape parameters for the bionic groove surface are determined, enabling the most effective drag reduction. The numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed groove surface yields notable drag reduction benefits within the velocity range of 2∼12 m/s. Specifically, the friction drag reduction ratio is measured at 26.91%, and the total drag reduction ratio at 9.63%. These reductions signify a substantial decrease in the forces opposing the ship's movement through water, leading to enhanced energy efficiency. Discussion: Comparative analysis is conducted between the performance of the bionic groove surface and that of a smooth surface. This investigation involves the examination of velocity gradient, streamwise mean velocity, and turbulent intensity. The results indicate that the bionic groove structure effectively mitigates viscous stress and Reynolds stress, which in turn reduces friction drag. This reduction in drag is attributed to the alteration in flow behavior induced by the non-smooth surface. Conclusion: The study proposes a novel approach for drag reduction in the shipping industry by emulating the ridge structure of killer whale skin. The transverse bionic groove surface, aligned perpendicular to flow direction, demonstrates promising drag reduction outcomes across diverse flow conditions. Through systematic numerical simulations and analysis of key parameters, the research provides insights into the drag reduction mechanism and identifies optimal design parameters for the groove surface. The potential for significant energy savings and improved fuel efficiency in maritime transportation underscores the practical significance of this research.
