Sharks have many biological features that can be used and implemented to create real-world solutions. One of them is their skin, which has friction forces that can help with mobile vehicles’ drag reduction forces, and reduce friction in certain fabrics. As the passage says, “The project findings will allow researchers to explore natural solutions for the reduction of skin friction over solid surfaces, which could result in new innovations and applications concerning energy conservation. This research will not only provide a greater understanding of the evolutionary development of sharks, but it will also investigate methods of flow control and drag reduction that can be easily applied to mobile vehicles.”
