Abstract

Measurement results on turbulent friction are presented for nine single-layer compliant coatings in comparison with a polished solid surface streamlined by the water flow. Three experimental series separated by time passed after coating fabrication were carried out. Results on monitoring of the viscoelastic properties of coating materials are shown; they allow analysing coating aging effect as the instability factor of coating hydrodynamic efficiency.
