Active reducing the skin friction drag of vehicles (such as missiles, rockets, aircraft, high-
speed train, submarines, etc.) during the navigation process can improve the respond speed …

The drag is a crucial factor in reducing the speed of movement and increasing unnecessary
energy loss. In this work, inspired by dolphins, five bionic flexible coatings with drag …

Frictional drag reduction using a superhydrophobic (SHPo) surface has attracted great
attention due to its potential for practical application. Air plastron (ie, pockets) trapped …

The excellent drag reduction effect of the bubble drag reduction technique has been proved
through many experiments since it was proposed. In this paper, the authors investigate the …

In the present work, counter-rotating turbulent Taylor-Couette flows with radial temperature
gradient have been studied as an extension of previously studied simple-rotating turbulent …

Vacuum suction units are widely used in various manufacturing lines, climbing robots, etc.
Their most difficult problem is vacuum leakage, which leads to suction failure. Vacuum …

The linear stability and energy stability of the plane Poiseuille flow with the isotropic and
anisotropic slip boundary conditions are theoretically analyzed and numerically calculated …

A lubricant-infused surface (LIS) has been widely studied due to its potential in various
industrial fields. However, the outermost lubricant layer of LIS is highly vulnerable to external …

In this paper, the natural transition locations in the flat-plate boundary layers on the
superhydrophobic surfaces are studied by numerical methods. The laminar flow field in the …

We present an experimental study on controlling the number of vortices and the torque in a
Taylor–Couette flow of water for Reynolds numbers from 660 to 1320. Different flow states …
