A theory for the slip and drag of superhydrophobic surfaces with surfactant

JR Landel, FJ Peaudecerf… - Journal of fluid …, 2020 - cambridge.org
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) have the potential to reduce drag at solid boundaries.
However, multiple independent studies have recently shown that small amounts of …

Exogenous–endogenous surfactant interaction yields heterogeneous spreading in complex branching networks

R Mcnair, F Temprano-Coleto, FJ Peaudecerf… - Physical Review Letters, 2025 - APS
Experiments have shown that surfactant introduced to a liquid-filled maze can find the
solution path. We reveal how the maze-solving dynamics arise from interactions between …

Confinement-induced drift in Marangoni-driven transport of surfactant: a Lagrangian perspective

R Mcnair, OE Jensen, JR Landel - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
Successive drops of coloured ink mixed with surfactant are deposited onto a thin film of
water to create marbling patterns in the Japanese art technique of Suminagashi. To …

Surfactant spreading in a two-dimensional cavity and emergent contact-line singularities

R Mcnair, OE Jensen, JR Landel - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
We model the advective Marangoni spreading of insoluble surfactant at the free surface of a
viscous fluid that is confined within a two-dimensional rectangular cavity. Interfacial …

Optothermal Marangoni Effect: Phenomena and Applications

A Miniewicz, S Bartkiewicz, M Bełej… - Novel Optical …, 2024 - World Scientific
Marangoni effect is ubiquitous in nature and plays a vital role in the interface between two or
more liquid phases. Any change of surface tension due to concentration and/or thermal …

Design of “bubble-inspired single-electron circuit” mimicking behavior of bubble film

N Kurata, T Oya - Nonlinear Theory and Its Applications, IEICE, 2019 - jstage.jst.go.jp
We propose a novel single-electron (SE) circuit with unique information-processing that
mimics the behavior of bubble film, ie, a “bubble-inspired SE circuit.” It is known that the …

[BOOK][B] Slip in the presence of surfactants: application to superhydrophobic drag reduction

F Temprano-Coleto - 2021 - search.proquest.com
Surfactants—molecules with a tendency to adsorb to interfaces between fluids—have been
known to critically affect the behavior of multiphase flows for decades. They slow the rise of …

[PDF][PDF] Stability analysis of incompressible boundary-driven flows in rectangular cavities

PE Des Boscs - 2020 - scholar.archive.org
The stability of an incompressible fluid flow in a cavity is investigated. In each of the three
setups examined the flow is driven by a moving boundary. First, we consider a cavity …
