Generally, fabricating bionic superhydrophobic surfaces on hydrophilic smooth materials
involves preparing microstructures/nanostructures and chemical modification. Recent …

The exploitation of superwetting surfaces including non-wetted (liquid contact angle> 150°)
and fully-wetted (liquid contact angle< 10°) surfaces has a long history, and it is still a hot …

In industrial production, spraying is the most widely used dust control method. However, the
traditional pure water spray has poor dust removal effect, and the principles of droplet …

This study examines the effects of crucial ISO 25178 parameters, including height,
functional, spatial, functional (stratified), hybrid, and functional (volume), on surface …

During water droplet impact onto a dry or wet rough solid surface, several phenomena affect
the surface erosion process, such as splashing, crown formation, and small droplet emission …

Hydrocarbon oil collectors are typically used in the mineral flotation process to increase the
hydrophobicity of the mineral surface. However, the mechanism of action of hydrocarbon oil …

In this experimental work, a conus impacts a deep liquid pool at a speed varying from 1.3 to)
are tested. An air cushion is trapped between the conus solid surface and the liquid. Several …

Before a droplet can contact a surface during impact, it must first displace the air beneath it.
Over a wide range of impact velocities, the droplet first squeezes the air into a thin film …

While the suppression of airborne coal particulates with water and surfactant sprays has
been widely used in underground coal mines, the microscopic mechanism involved during …

Current available theories about thickness of air film trapped in between droplet and bath of
miscible liquids can also be explained in terms of conservation of energy. Though the …
