An atomistic-continuum hybrid simulation of fluid flows over superhydrophobic surfaces

, 2009
Recent experiments have found that slip length could be as large as on the order of 1 mu m for fluid flows over superhydrophobic surfaces. Superhydrophobic surfaces can be achieved by patterning roughness on hydrophobic surfaces. In the present paper an

Improving the Mechanical Durability of Superhydrophobic Coating by Deposition on to a Mesh Structure

, 2017
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) require a combination of a rough nano- or microscale structured surface topography and a low surface energy. However, its superydrophobicity is easily lost, even under relatively mild mechanical abrasion, when the surface
