Corrosion and tribology are surface phenomena. Modifying surfaces of materials without
resorting to altering their bulk properties is an effective route to alleviate corrosion, friction …

Icing on an aircraft is the cause of numerous adverse effects on aerodynamic performance.
Although the issue was recognized in the 1920s, the icing problem is still an area of ongoing …

Aircraft icing seriously threatens flight safety. The widely used electrothermal anti/de-icing
technology has high energy consumption and poor performance. The bionic …

The impact of unstable supercooled water droplets suspended in the cloud on the solid will
cause its surface to freeze, and the flight safety of the aircraft will be seriously affected when …

An experimental study was conducted to examine the effects of dielectric-barrier-discharge
plasma (DBD) actuator layout on the plasma-induced thermal characteristics and evaluate …

An experimental investigation was conducted to examine the detrimental effects induced by
deicing fluids used for aircraft ground deicing on the performance of icephobic coatings for …

Ice accumulation on solid surfaces adversely affects many applications. Among diverse
surface modification methods to reduce ice adhesion strength, superhydrophobic (SHP) …

With the widespread application of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) in engineering,
the characteristics of uniformly carbon fiber (CF) orientation within a single-ply and …

We numerically study drop impact on slippery lubricated surfaces at varied impact speeds to
comprehend the cloaking of the water drop by the lubricant. We employ a multi-material and …

The risk of accidents caused by ice adhesion on critical aircraft surfaces is a significant
concern. To combat this, active ice protection systems (AIPS) are installed on aircraft, which …
