Superhydrophobic (SH) coatings have been demonstrated to reduce drag in various
applications, though they have yet to be widely used or adopted due to practical issues …

In this paper, we report the characterization of large-scale superhydrophobic surfaces for
hydrodynamic drag reduction in boundary layer flows using a high-speed towing tank …

Previous studies have demonstrated the capability of superhydrophobic surfaces to produce
slip flow and drag reduction, which properties hold considerable promise for a broad range …

Liquid-infused surfaces present a novel coating for passive drag reduction in turbulent flows.
Conceptually similar to superhydrophobic surfaces, which are composed of air pockets …

The air/water interface, known as the plastron, entrapped in submerged superhydrophobic
surfaces (SHSs), plays a crucial role in underwater drag reduction. However, the plastron …

In this paper, we report the measurement of skin friction drag on superhydrophobic-coated
flat plates in high Reynolds (Re) number boundary layer flows, using a high-speed towing …

Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) have been proven effective in reducing frictional drag
force in various flow conditions. However, at high flow speeds, the air plastron on these …

Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) can reduce the friction drag in turbulent flows. In the
laminar regime, it has been shown that trace amounts of surfactant can negate this drag …

Superhydrophobic surfaces have garnered attention for their ability to decrease fluid
resistance, which can significantly reduce energy consumption. This study aims to …

Superhydrophobic surfaces can entrap gas pockets within their grooves when submerged in
water. Such a mixed-phase boundary is shown to result in an effective slip velocity on the …
