    Abstract: An aerodynamic or hydrodynamic wall surface has an array of fibrillar structures disposed on and extending from the wall surface, wherein each fibrillar structure comprises a stalk and a tip. The stalk has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is attached to the wall surface, and the stalk is oriented with respect to the wall surface at a stalk angle between approximately 1 degrees and 179 degrees. The tip has a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is attached proximate to the second end of the stalk, the tip has a larger cross-sectional area than the stalk, and the second side comprises a substantially planar surface that is oriented with respect to the stalk at a tip angle between approximately 0 degrees and 90 degrees.

    Abstract: A coating apparatus for the reduction of aerodynamic noise and vibrations. The coating apparatus is configured to include a group of fibrillar structures, wherein each fibrillar structure is configured with a diverging tip so that the coating reduces the size of and shifts downstream, a separation bubble, and modulates large-scale recirculating motion. Each fibrillar structure can be configured as a cylindrical micropillar. The group of fibrillar structures can be configured as a group of uniformly distributed cylindrical micropillars (e.g., one or more micropillar arrays). The surface coating is effective in reducing the separation bubble and displacing the separation bubble downstream. The coating facilitates a reduction in noise (e.g., aerodynamic noise) and vibrations due to the reduction in the size of the separation bubble.
