This is basically the job of vortex generators, however better not to need to use them at all as they cause drag.

They are often used on reducing the engine/pod drag on aircraft.

why do aircraft wings not have the underside made 'furry' to increase lift?
Reminds me of the old how can you tell an Olympic Airways aircraft jokes......hair under the wings.
