Abstract:
Wavy riblets are disposed at one or more auditorily important acoustical boundary layers of a sound producing device. Wavy riblets can be deployed directly onto the surface of the device, and/or onto a film or other carrier that is then positioned in or on the device. Wavy riblets can be advantageously deployed in sets, in a herringbone pattern, and sets of smaller riblets can be disposed between sets of larger riblets. Wavy riblets can also be superimposed onto other wavy or non-wavy riblets. Contemplated sound producing devices include speakers, musical instruments, fan blades and ducts.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of improving fluid dynamics within a sound producing device, the method comprising deploying a first set of wavy riblets within an air flow passageway of the device.
