Slip on Superhydrophobic Surfaces
TLDR
A review of the use of the combination of surface roughness and hydrophobicity for engineering large slip at the fluid-solid interface is given in this paper, with an eye toward implementing these surfaces in a wide range of applications.Abstract:
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 initially inspired by the unique water-repellent properties of the lotus leaf and can be employed to produce drag reduction in both laminar and turbulent flows, enhance mixing in laminar flows, and amplify diffusion-osmotic flows. We review the current state of experiments, simulations, and theory of flow past superhydrophobic surfaces. In addition, the designs and limitations of these surfaces are discussed, with an eye toward implementing these surfaces in a wide range of applications.read more

TL;DR: Topological texture on superhydrophobic materials is critical in stabilizing the vapour layer and thus in controlling—by heat transfer—the liquid–gas phase transition at hot surfaces, and can potentially be applied to control other phase transitions.

Purity of the sacred lotus, or escape from contamination in biological surfaces
TL;DR: It is shown here for the first time that the interdependence between surface roughness, reduced particle adhesion and water repellency is the keystone in the self-cleaning mechanism of many biological surfaces.
