Abstract For high‐speed moving objects, drag reduction has been a prolonged major challenge. To address this problem, passive and negative strategies have been proposed in the preceding decades. The integration of creatures and nature has been continuously perfected during biological evolution. Unique structure characteristics, material properties, and special functions of marine organisms can provide inexhaustible inspirations to solve this intractable problem of drag reduction. Therefore, a simple and low‐cost laser ablation method was proposed. A multi‐scale and multi‐level riblet (MSLR) surface inspired by the denticles of the sharkskin was fabricated by controlling the density of the laser path and ablation times. The morphology and topographic features were characterised using an electron microscope and a scanning white‐light interfering profilometer. Then, the drag reduction capacity of the bionic riblet surface was measured in a circulating water tunnel. Finally, the mechanism of drag reduction was analysed by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The results show that the MSLR surface has a stable drag reduction capacity with an increase in Reynold (Re) number which was contributed by high‐low velocity stripes formed on the MSLR surface. This study can provide a reference for fabricating spatial riblets with efficient drag reduction at different values of Re and improving marine antifouling. |
