Abstract
Since humans and nature have a shared destiny, harmony is the way for the two to get along. Learning from nature can lead to long-term and steady development for humans. Bionics is an emerging discipline that learns from nature modestly. The structure and products of the best organisms in species evolution work as a beacon for scientific and technological progress. In the field of ship fluid mechanics, the combination of bionics and ship and ocean engineering provides many simple and effective design schemes for the fluid performance optimization of ship materials and structures. This paper mainly summarizes and discusses the research and application status of bionics in the field of ship fluid drag reduction from four aspects, namely the imitation of biological shape, biological epidermal texture, biological function, and biological structure. Conclusions can be drawn that bionics can used to improve a ship’s shape, structure, surface materials, and marine coatings to optimize ship fluid performance and effectively reduce ship drag.
