Perspectives of methods of hydrodynamic drag reduction

Applied hydromechanics, Vol. 1 (73) ¹ 4, (1999) p.42-50
A brief review of some publications on research of the hydrodynamic drag reduction, which were initiated in USSR and received the further development in the countries of the independent states, is given in this paper. Methods of action on the boundary layer, use of MHD - effects, reduction of the wave drag and shape drag are considered. Possible ways of the further development of methods of the hydrodynamic drag reduction and their feasible application on vehicles are analyzed.
