Informationen zum Autor Prof. Viktor V. Babenko received his MSc in Mechanical Engineering from the Moscow Aviation Institute in 1963 and his PhD in Fluid and Gas Mechanics from the Institute of Hydro-aeromechanics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) in 1970. Between 1963 and 1965, he worked at the Antonov Design Bureau, a Ukrainian aircraft manufacturing company. He has been at the Institute of Hydromechanics since 1965, where he has managed research projects on boundary layers. He has been a professor since 1990, and was the Head of Department until 2000. Throughout his career, he has developed original methodologies for research on boundary layer receptivity to 2D and 3D disturbances, at flows around elastic coatings, near different cavities and ledges, in a vortex chamber, at movement of high-speed surface devices, and others. He has developed control methods for coherent vortical structures arising at various types of flows. From 1989 to 2006, he was a member of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Hydromechanics NASU, and since 2000 he has been a member of the Scientific Councils of the Universities of Civil Aviation and Polytechnic in Kiev.

Klappentext 99% of overseas trade by volume enters or leaves the United States by ship, and according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the total value of marine freight is estimated to increase by 43% domestically and 67% internationally from 2010 to 2020. With this level of marine freight transportation and an ever-increasing push across all industries for energy and economic savings, much research in recent years has focused on ship efficiency and fuel economy. Reduction in ship frictional drag has the potential to save billions of dollars per year in fuel costs, and compliant coating, the main topic of this book, is a promising yet poorly understood potential solution to the problem of drag reduction. This unique reference brings together for the first time largely unknown findings from decades of research into skin friction reduction technologies at the turbulent boundary layer of marine vessels.
