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 …

Slippery surfaces have received great attention for more than a quarter-century. In particular,
during the last decade, interest has increased exponentially, resulting in thousands of …

Lubricant-impregnated surfaces (LIS), where micro/nanotextured surfaces are impregnated
with lubricating liquids, have received significant attention for their robust, superslippery …

A significant amount of the fuel consumed by marine vehicles is expended to overcome skin-
friction drag resulting from turbulent boundary layer flows. Hence, a substantial reduction in …

After a long period of biological evolution, natural creatures will inevitably evolve body
surfaces suitable for the living environment. The functions of natural biological surfaces are …

We demonstrate a reduction in the measured inner wall shear stress in moderately turbulent
Taylor-Couette flows by depositing sprayable superhydrophobic microstructures on the …

Results on turbulent skin friction reduction over air-and liquid-impregnated surfaces are
presented for aqueous Taylor-Couette flow. The surfaces are fabricated by mechanically …

Nature organisms, after billions of years of evolution, have evolved elegant morphologies,
structures, patterns, or surface wettabilities with unique functionalities. Among all the …

The effects of ice formation and accretion on external surfaces range from being mildly
annoying to potentially life-threatening. Ice-shedding materials, which lower the adhesion …

Reduction of frictional drag exerted on submerged marine vehicles results in considerable
economic and environmental benefits. A lubricant-infused surface (LIS) inspired by …
