hydrodynamically rough surface

Any surface that by surface friction extracts momentum from the fluid flowing over it. There are a number of measures of the roughness of a surface that relate to the degree of mixing in the fluid caused by this frictional overturning of the fluid. See roughness length, friction velocity, zero-plane displacement; compare aerodynamically rough surface, aerodynamically smooth surface.
