Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fluid drag-reducing agent technology, specifically relating to an antifouling and antibacterial drag-reducing agent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Water transport, with its advantages of low cost, large carrying capacity, small land occupation, low energy consumption, low pollution, and high efficiency, plays an important role in global trade, represented by ships and vessels, and is hailed as a "green resource." However, the movement of these vessels compresses the water, causing it to flow around the vessel. The viscosity of the water and the waves create fluctuations in the flow field near the vessel, resulting in significant resistance, consuming large amounts of fossil fuels, and emitting large amounts of CO2.

[0003] Currently, superhydrophobic drag reduction technology has broad application prospects, and there are two relatively classic theories regarding its drag reduction mechanism. Navier's wall slip model states that when fluid flows over a superhydrophobic surface, velocity slip occurs in the near-wall region, thereby reducing the fluid's shear stress, effectively increasing the boundary layer thickness, and thus reducing fluid resistance. McHale points out that the microstructure of the superhydrophobic surface traps some air, forming an air layer. When water flows over the superhydrophobic surface, the presence of this air layer transforms the traditional solid-liquid contact into a solid-gas / gas-liquid contact, thereby reducing the significant drag caused by solid-liquid contact. Superhydrophobic drag-reducing coatings have complex compositions, with drag-reducing agents at their core. Summary of the Invention
