Modeling drag reduction and meniscus stability of superhydrophobic surfaces comprised of random roughness
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of super-hydrophobic surfaces comprised of randomly distributed roughness (e.g., particles or microposts) that resembles natural superhydrophilic surfaces, or those produced via random deposition of hydrophobic particles are modeled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerodynamic heating in transitional hypersonic boundary layers: Role of second-mode instability
TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of second-mode instabilities in hypersonic boundary layers and its effects on aerodynamic heating are investigated in a Mach 6 wind tunnel using fast-response pressure sensors, fluorescent temperature-sensitive paint, and particle image velocimetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Flow on Longevity of Superhydrophobic Coatings
TL;DR: Results show that the longevity of the surface deteriorates by increasing the flow rate, and the flow appears to enhance the dissolution of air into water, which leads to a loss of drag reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perspectives in Fluid Dynamics: A Collective Introduction to Current Research
Journal ArticleDOI
Compliant coatings for drag reduction
TL;DR: In this paper, the reliability of available analytical, numerical and experimental results is addressed with the objective of elucidating the potential pitfalls to newcomers to the field and explaining some of the seemingly contradictory results available in the open literature.
