Modeling of shear flows over superhydrophobic surfaces: from Newtonian to non-Newtonian fluids

H Rahmani, F Larachi, SM Taghavi - ACS Engineering Au, 2024 - ACS Publications
The design and use of superhydrophobic surfaces have gained special attentions due to
their superior performances and advantages in many flow systems, eg, in achieving specific …

Blockage of thermocapillary flows by surface-active impurities

T Bickel - Physical Review Fluids, 2024 - APS
Thermocapillary convection is particularly effective for the control of thin liquid film
topography or for the actuation of microparticles at the liquid-air interface. Experiments with …

Unsteady evolution of slip and drag in surfactant-contaminated superhydrophobic channels

SD Tomlinson, F Gibou, P Luzzatto-Fegiz… - Journal of Fluid …, 2024 - cambridge.org
Recognising that surfactants can impede the drag reduction resulting from
superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS), we investigate the impact of spatio–temporal fluctuations …

Research progress of slippage characteristic and gas film stability enhancement methods on biomimetic hydrophobic surfaces

M Zhang, H Hu, L Ren, L Bao, J Wen, L **e - Journal of Hydrodynamics, 2024 - Springer
The biomimetic hydrophobic surface is a potentially efficient underwater drag reduction
method and the drag reduction mechanism of this kind of surface comes from the interfacial …

Drag reduction in surfactant-contaminated superhydrophobic channels at high P\'eclet numbers
