Abstract
A fluid flow conditioning apparatus having a plurality of flexible microstructures that reduce flow losses within a conduit. The plurality of microstructures is affixed to an insertion plate-type flow conditioner. One or more ends of the microstructures are secured to internal walls of the flow conditioner. The microstructures are configured to move and flex in response to static and dynamic pressure exerted onto the microstructures by the fluid flow. The microstructures may be made of a hyperelastic material configured to undergo an elastic deformation due to the dynamic pressure of the fluid flow.
