Abstract

See full text

A method for producing an object with riblets on and/or in the surface, around which object a fluid flows during use. A frictional resistance acting on a surface region along a flow direction during a flow around the object in the fluid is calculated and added up to a cumulative frictional resistance over a length of the surface region in the flow direction, after which the riblets are provided on and/or in a partial region of the surface in which an increase in the cumulative frictional resistance is at least 0.9, in particular greater than 1.0 to 0.9. Moreover, a method is provided for modifying a surface of an object around which a fluid flows during use, such as a foil. A structure having riblets is created on and/or in the surface, which structure reduces flow resistance of the object. Furthermore, a fluid flows around an object during use.
