I think the force field analogy fits best, but it's micro eddies or small vortexes of disturbed air forming a protective film or barrier which allows passing air to pass more easily.
Golf ball dimples, shark skin etc.............all depend on the passing fluid (air/water) to initialize the event.
Dimples are passive, this thing is active.
