Abstract
A generally cylindrical elementthat is adapted for immersion in water is described. The generally cylindrical elementhas an outer surfacethat is in contact with the water in use. The outer surfacehas at least two rows of repeating shapes, for example hexagons, provided on the surface, where each row of repeating shapesis separated from the other or the adjacent row(s) by a groove arrangement. Each shapewithin a row is separated from the, or each, adjacent shapeby at least one groove. This configuration of the surfacereduces Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) and/or drag that may act upon the generally cylindrical elementwhen it is immersed in a body of water.
