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

open access: yes, 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
