This review gives an overview of recent advances in the potential applications of
superhydrophobic materials. Such properties are characterized by extremely high water …

This review discusses the use of the combination of surface roughness and hydrophobicity
for engineering large slip at the fluid-solid interface. These superhydrophobic surfaces were …

In this paper, we demonstrate that periodic, micropatterned superhydrophobic surfaces,
previously noted for their ability to provide laminar flow drag reduction, are capable of …

The lubrication of external liquid flow with a bubbly mixture or gas layer has been the goal of
engineers for many years, and this article presents the underlying principles and recent …

Superhydrophobic surfaces have the potential to reduce the viscous drag of liquids by
significantly decreasing friction at a solid-liquid interface due to the formation of air layers …

We have fabricated a self-cleaning coating on a model ship with a large and curved surface
by electroless deposition of gold aggregates, and the superhydrophobic model ship …

The injection of gas bubbles into a turbulent boundary layer of a liquid phase has multiple
different impacts on the original flow structure. Frictional drag reduction is a phenomenon …

We demonstrate and quantify a highly effective drag reduction technique that exploits the
Leidenfrost effect to create a continuous and robust lubricating vapor layer on the surface of …

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

The decarbonisation of waterborne transport is arguably the biggest challenge faced by the
maritime industry presently. By 2050, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) aims to …
