On flow of power-law fluids between adjacent surfaces: Why is it possible to derive a Reynolds-type equation for pressure-driven flow, but not for shear-driven flow?

open access: yesApplications in Engineering Science, 2023
Flows of incompressible Navier–Stokes (Newtonian) fluids between adjacent surfaces are encountered in numerous practical applications, such as seal leakage and bearing lubrication.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Combined Influence of Noncondensable Gas Mass Fraction and Mathematical Model on Cavitation Performance of Bearing

open access: yesInternational Journal of Rotating Machinery, 2020
The presence of cavitation in the oil film seriously affects the bearing lubrication performance and bearing capacity. Now the research of this phenomenon mostly focuses on the model of Reynolds equation (R-E equation) or Navier-Stokes equation (N-S ...

Numerical Simulation of the Lubricant-Solid Interface Using the Multigrid Method

open access: yesLubricants, 2023
Solid asperity interactions are common and inevitable under severe loading conditions for any lubricated contact. Heavy-duty machine components (gears, bearings, etc.) generally operate under Mixed Lubrication (ML), where uneven surface features contact ...

Sticky Yet Slippery: Molecular Ordering Reconciles Bubble‐Surface Affinity With Ultralow Friction at the Nanoscale

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By engineering the molecular order and thickness of PDMS layers, we reconcile the stickiness and slipperiness during bubble transport. AFM measurements and MD simulations further reveal how these nanoscale architectures tune hydrophobic interaction FHB and friction force f.

A new drag and lift correlation for spherocylinders from fully resolved Immersed Boundary Method

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Many industrial processes deal with non‐spherical particles, e.g., mineral mining and biomass conversion. It is crucial to understand the particles' hydrodynamics to control and optimize these processes. To extend the current state‐of‐the‐art from arrays of spherical particles to spherocylindrical particles, we performed extensive particle ...

Effects of surface roughness on molecular gas lubrication (Direct simulation Monte-Carlo analysis for shear flow)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2020
Molecular gas film lubrication (MGL) equation, which is derived based on linearized Boltzmann equation, is the reliable means to analyze the molecular gas flow in the narrow channel, whose thickness is as thin as the molecular mean free pass. Though, the
