Nacelle Chines
A Nacelle Chine is a device that re-strikes airflow during take off. Boeing build Nacelle Chines for the Boeing 777 using an internally developed fabrication process.




But also on the A320 with CFM56-5 there called Strake.

From the Dunlop Aviation Tyre manual:-
3.3.1.9. Chined Tyres

Certain tyres for nose wheel application incorporate a flange or chine at the shoulder buttress. The chine is designed to deflect water displaced by the tyre tread and reduce the hazard of water ingestion into the intake of rear engine aircraft when operating from a very wet runway.
