{"product_id":"9780123948212","title":"Boundary Layer Flow over Elastic Surfaces: Compliant Surfaces and Combined Methods for Marine Vessel Drag Reduction","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile other methods of drag reduction are well-known in marine R\u0026amp;D and ship design environments worldwide, compliant coating drag reduction remains less well-known and poorly understood. This important book presents cutting-edge techniques and findings from research sources not generally accessible by Western researchers and engineers, aiding the application and further development of this potentially important technology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeginning with an introduction to drag reduction that places the authors’ work on elastic surfaces and combined techniques in context, the book moves on to provide a comprehensive study of drag reduction through elastic coating with both flow and material properties considered.
