An irregular surface texture fabricated on a body which travels through fluid in order to reduce the flow drag incurred by the body moving relative to the fluid. The dominate orientation of the irregular surface texture runs in the longitudinal direction, however, ridge and valley structures may occur in any orientation so that the resulting texture mimic the turbulence characteristic present in the surrounding flow field.
