Tailoring the hydrodynamic boundary condition is essential for both applied and fundamental aspects of drag reduction. Hydrodynamic friction on superhydrophobic …
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) have the potential to achieve large drag reduction for internal and external flow applications. However, experiments have shown inconsistent …
Superhydrophobic surfaces can retain gas pockets within their microscale textures when submerged in water. This property reduces direct contact between water and solid surfaces …
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 …

The gas–liquid interface plays a crucial role in reducing the flow resistance of superhydrophobic surfaces. However, this interface is highly unstable and prone to collapse …
Certain surfaces that exhibit small textured features can interact with near-wall turbulence and reduce drag, which is of great interest to industries in the aerospace, naval, transport …
We analytically and numerically consider the hydrodynamic and thermal transport behavior of fully developed laminar flow through a superhydrophobic (SH) parallel-plate channel …
