Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Superhydrophobic surfaces on supercritical airfoils: mitigating ice formation and enhancing performance

open access: yesInternational Journal of Thermofluids
Superhydrophobic surfaces are characterized by low surface energy and micro- to nano-scale roughness. These properties cause fluids to slide over the surface, thereby reducing drag and adhesion, and resulting in a lower drag coefficient.

Orbital evolution under the action of fast interstellar gas flow with non-constant drag coefficient

open access: yes, 2012
The acceleration of a spherical dust particle caused by an interstellar gas flow depends on the drag coefficient which is, for the given particle and flow of interstellar gas, a specific function of the relative speed of the dust particle with respect to

Preservation of Extracellular Vesicle Integrity and Cargo Using Spiral Microfluidic Chip‐Based Separation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A spiral microfluidic chip is compared with ultrafiltration for the separation of extracellular vesicles (EVs). The method preserves miRNA cargo and membrane integrity more effectively, resulting in intact vesicle morphology and consistent surface biomarker expression.

A Framework to Estimate Local Atmospheric Densities With Reduced Drag‐Coefficient Biases

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2022
An accurate estimation of upper atmospheric densities is crucial for precise orbit determination (POD), prediction of low Earth orbit satellites, and scientific studies of the Earth's atmosphere.

Dynamic Current Routing in Conductive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Complex Deformation Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel actuation control strategy in which electrical stimulation generates localized Joule heating in conductive liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) surfaces, enabling complex 3D deformations from a single homogeneous surface without preprogramming.

Drag coefficients derived from ocean current and temperature profiles at high wind speeds

open access: yesTellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2018
Two bottom-up methods based on the turbulence closure and bulk model were utilised to estimate drag coefficients at high wind speeds based on ocean current and temperature profiles observed by two subsurface buoys during Typhoon Megi in the South China ...

Study and Evaluation of the Effects of Bionic Groove Structures Applied to Wheel Spokes on the Aerodynamics of a Car Model [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics
Decreasing the wheel aerodynamic drag is one of the important measures for lowering vehicle drag and improving fuel efficiency. The innovation of this study is designing the bionic non-smooth groove structure on the spoke surface as a drag reduction ...
