| Abstract: |
Tabs are placed on a moving object in order to de-organize the fluid or air, passing over the moving object. The tabs can be any type of protrusion on the body of the moving object. The placement, size, and number of tabs depends on the size and contour of the moving object and can be optimized by testing. The use of these tabs causes less friction between the fluid or air and the object, and increases the efficiency and stability of the moving object. Additionally, dimpled strips can be used to de-organize the fluid in lieu of tabs.
