Zusammenfassung:A centrifugal blower assembly includes a housing (18) having an inner surface (25) and an outer surface(28). The inner surface (25) of the housing (18) defines in part an interior space. The centrifugal blower also includes a first portion of texture applied to at least a first portion of at least one of the inner surface (25) and the outer surface (28) of the housing. The first portion of texture has a first height based at least in part on a local boundary layer height of an airflow moving across at least one of the inner surface (25) and the outer surface (28) respectively. The first portion of texture is configured to generate a turbulent flow within the airflow moving across the first portion of texture.
