We provide a comprehensive review of theoretical and experimental studies of several
configurations involving liquid-gas interfaces in contact with heated solid substrates which …

Hypothesis Marine biofouling is a global, longstanding problem for maritime industries and
coastal areas arising from the attachment of fouling organisms onto solid immersed …

Passive methods of flow and cavitation control appear to offer some of the best prospects in
the field of hydraulic engineering and marine applications. In this article, we aimed at an …

ABSTRACT A particularly significant metric in the initial phase and in industrial applications
is the contact angle (CA), which arises from the surfaces' wetting behavior. One of the …

Membrane distillation (MD) has the potential to expand its application from desalination to
wastewater treatment by develo** a in-situ membrane fouling and wetting detection …

The third section is devoted to the experimental characterization of surface wettability and
the underlying theoretical analysis. Particular attention is paid to the method known as the …

The freezing phenomena of sessile and pendant water droplets on horizontal and inverted
surfaces are widespread in industrial fields, which always causes great structural destruction …

Recent research efforts to combat marine biofouling have focused on foul-release coatings
that are not harmful for the marine environment. Inspired by nature, Slippery lubricant …

The evaporating water droplets on a horizontal heated substrate were experimentally
studied. The constantan foil 25 μm thick with a size of 42× 35 mm 2 was used as a substrate …

Heat transfer at rivulet water flow over the constantan foil with the length of 80 mm, width of
35 mm, and thickness of 25 mm was studied experimentally. The foil surface temperature …
