Résumé

This study presents the initial development of drag-reducing surfaces featuring streamwise triangular riblets at 30°, 60°, and 90°. It encompasses the design, microfabrication, and performance evaluation. Four acrylic cylindrical samples (drums), including one with a smooth surface, were fabricated by means of high-precision multi-axis single-point diamond cutting (SPDC) that yielded exceptional surface quality and form accuracy of <1 µm. The functional performance was assessed by means of a rheometer-based Taylor-Couette system that synchronously recorded frictional torque and angular position in the time domain at an angular speed of 230.6 rad/s. The 60° riblets demonstrated a 6.9% reduction in drag as measured through the decreased torque. Additional statistical metrics - such as standard deviation, amplitude-frequency characteristic, and probability density function - were used to evaluate the dynamics of riblet-fluid interactions. The findings of this study contribute to the further development of knowledge on drag-reducing functional surfaces with numerous potential applications in aerospace, automotive, marine, and energy sectors.
