Liquid-repellent surfaces, such as superhydrophobic surfaces, superoleophobic surfaces,
and slippery liquid-infused surfaces, have drawn keen research interest from the …

This paper provides a comprehensive review of published articles addressing passive
enhancement of pool boiling using surface modification techniques. They include …

Heat removal from high heat flux devices such as computer chips, laser diodes, and other
electronic devices and components has been a significant issue with the advances in micro …

A new kind of functional surfaces with particular characteristics, ie, superhydrophobic
surfaces, has recently been developed and applied in many fields, such as airplane, wind …

Wettability of a material's surface plays a significant role in how fluids interact with such
surfaces. Wetting behavior is universal but can vary depending on the chemical nature of the …

With recent advances in micro-and nanofabrication, superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic
surfaces have been developed. The statics and dynamics of fluids on these surfaces have …

Owing to advances in micro-and nanofabrication methods over the last two decades, the
degree of sophistication with which solid surfaces can be engineered today has caused a …

A hybrid thermal lattice Boltzmann (LB) model is presented to simulate thermal multiphase
flows with phase change based on an improved pseudopotential LB approach (Li et al …

Liquid-vapor phase-change processes have been widely exploited in industrial applications
including power generation, water processing and harvesting, cooling/refrigeration and …

The increasing cooling demands of electronics have attracted more attention recently for
heat removal at the component with higher heat flux and heat density. Boiling, as a two …
