A gas in between micro-or nanostructures on a submerged superhydrophobic (SHPo)
surface allows the liquid on the structures to flow with an effective slip. If large enough, this …

The transport of fluid and ions in nano/molecular confinements is the governing physics of a
myriad of embodiments in nature and technology including human physiology, plants …

Superhydrophobic (SHPo) surfaces have shown promise for passive drag reduction
because their surface structures can hold a lubricating gas film between the solid surface …

Superhydrophobicity on structured surfaces is frequently achieved via the maintenance of
liquid-air interfaces adjacent to the trapped air pockets. These interfaces, however, are …

Despite the confirmation of slip flows and successful drag reduction (DR) in small-scaled
laminar flows, the full impact of superhydrophobic (SHPo) DR remained questionable …

Droplet and bubble wettability are important parameters for characterizing the wetting
propensity of solid surface. Recent studies have shown significant differences between the …

Mechanisms for overlimiting current and concentration polarization in electrodialysis (ED)
with ion-exchange membranes are not yet well understood despite its half-century history. A …

Tailoring the hydrodynamic boundary condition is essential for both applied and
fundamental aspects of drag reduction. Hydrodynamic friction on superhydrophobic …

The fluid flow inside a thin liquid film can be dramatically modified by the hydrodynamic
boundary condition at the interfaces. Aqueous systems can be easily contaminated by trace …

The mechanism of turbulent drag reduction (DR) with super-hydrophobic (SH) surfaces is
investigated by direct numerical simulation (DNS) and analysis of the governing equations …
