The purpose of this research is to develop a new technique for the turbulent drag reduction as the passive control. The pressure loss of three kinds of seal fur (Ribbon, Spotted and Harp seals) and an electret nonwoven fabric surfaces was measured in the channel flow using the water and glycerol-water (40 wt%). The data was compared with those of smooth and riblet surface. The drag reduction could be obtained for all kinds of seal fur surfaces; it was estimated to be 11.5 % on ribbon seal, 9.5 % on spotted seal and 3.5 % on harp seal for glycerol-water, while the drag reduction was not achieved for the electret nonwoven fabric surface.
