Sea stars generate downforce to stay attached to surfaces

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Intertidal sea stars often function in environments with extreme hydrodynamic loads that can compromise their ability to remain attached to surfaces. While behavioral responses such as burrowing into sand or sheltering in rock crevices can help minimize ...

Numerical Research on the Layout for Wing-Deflectable Hydrofoil Seaplane

open access: yesHangkong gongcheng jinzhan, 2019
Aiming at the problem of big drag during takeoff for seaplane, a hydrofoil seaplane with deflectable wings is proposed. The hydrodynamic lift generated by deflectable wing cutting the water surface during takeoff is big enough to lift the aircraft off ...

Hydrodynamic Coupling of Two Brownian Spheres to a Planar Surface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We describe direct imaging measurements of the collective and relative diffusion of two colloidal spheres near a flat plate. The bounding surface modifies the spheres' dynamics, even at separations of tens of radii.

The contribution of an overlooked transport process to a wetland's methane emissions

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
Wetland methane transport processes affect what portion of methane produced in wetlands reaches the atmosphere. We model what has been perceived to be the least important of these transport processes: hydrodynamic transport of methane through wetland ...

Hydrodynamic Flows on Curved Surfaces: Spectral Numerical Methods for Radial Manifold Shapes

open access: yes, 2018
We formulate hydrodynamic equations and spectrally accurate numerical methods for investigating the role of geometry in flows within two-dimensional fluid interfaces.

Surface correlations of hydrodynamic drag for transitionally rough engineering surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Rough surfaces are usually characterised by a single equivalent sand-grain roughness height scale that typically needs to be determined from laboratory experiments.

Hydrodynamic friction of fakir-like superhydrophobic surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2010
A fluid droplet located on a superhydrophobic surface makes contact with the surface only at small isolated regions, and is mostly in contact with the surrounding air. As a result, a fluid in motion near such a surface experiences very low friction, and superhydrophobic surfaces display strong drag reduction in the laminar regime.

Hydrodynamic slip boundary condition at chemically patterned surfaces: A continuum deduction from molecular dynamics

open access: yes, 2005
We investigate the slip boundary condition for single-phase flow past a chemically patterned surface. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations show that modulation of fluid-solid interaction along a chemically patterned surface induces a lateral structure in ...
