Riblets are micro-scaled surface grooves, which are directly inspired by the structure of shark skin and its ability to reduce skin friction. They are aligned with the flow direction and reduce fluid-dynamic drag by interacting with the boundary layer of turbulent fluxes. Riblets can be adapted to various technical applications and bring significant performance gains when properly designed.
