Barnacle-type roughness can be considered as a hybrid form of roughness that combines
some of the topographical features of traditional regular rough surfaces composed of …

This study investigates the impact of barnacle attachment on the wake characteristics of
marine propellers, focusing on the evolution from the near-field to the far-field regions. Using …

We experimentally investigate the effects of multiscale rough patches on the drag and flow
structure of a fully rough turbulent boundary layer in a wind tunnel. Several patches …

The adverse effects of marine biofouling on marine renewable energy devices are well
established. In recent fundamental investigations on fluid flow over this type of surface …

In most fundamental studies on the effect of roughness elements on wall-bounded
turbulence regular arrangements of roughness elements are investigated. In this study …

Biofilm fouling has a significant effect on ship performance. Here, the impact of biofilm
fouling on boundary layer structure is investigated. Turbulent boundary layer measurements …

Many fundamental biological and physical processes taking place in benthic marine
environments such as coral reefs, kelp forests, and sea grass beds occur at scales of a …
