Roughness effects of diatomaceous slime fouling on turbulent boundary layer hydrodynamics

EAK Murphy, JM Barros, MP Schultz, KA Flack… - Biofouling, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Biofilm fouling significantly impacts ship performance. Here, the impact of biofilm on
boundary layer structure at a ship-relevant, low Reynolds number was investigated …

A multi-aspect study of commercial coatings under the effect of surface roughness and fouling

IA Yeginbayeva, L Granhag, V Chernoray - Progress in Organic Coatings, 2019 - Elsevier
The paper presents an experimental study of surface and hydrodynamic characteristics for
biocidal, non-biocidal antifouling coatings and hard coatings. In the study both smooth …
