Weight measurements in a water tunnel have shown that there exist a range of parameters of longitudinally fine-ribbed surface such that turbulent friction in flow over the surface is less than that over a smooth flat plane of the same projected area. Maximum drag reduction due to ribbing is up to 16%.
