Effects of surface roughness on wettability and surface energy of coal
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Surface roughness has an important effect on the wettability and surface energy of coal. Although the predecessors had studied the effect of surface roughness on the wettability of coal, there were few researches on the effect of surface energy of coal ...

Rough-surface shadowing of self-affine random rough surfaces [PDF]
Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 2007 Light scattering from self-affine homogeneous isotropic random rough surfaces is studied using the ray-optics approximation. Numerical methods are developed to accelerate the first-order scattering simulations from surfaces represented as single-connected single-valued random fields, and to store the results of the simulations into a numerical ...

Influence of Surface Roughness on Superhydrophobicity [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2006 Superhydrophobic surfaces, with liquid contact angle theta greater than 150 degree, have important practical applications ranging from self-cleaning window glasses, paints, and fabrics to low-friction surfaces. Many biological surfaces, such as the lotus leaf, have hierarchically structured surface roughness which is optimized for superhydrophobicity ...

Enhancement of laser heating process by laser surface modification on Titanium alloy
Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2021 Titanium alloys are widely utilized in laser heating applications. However, it has poor optical properties due to low laser energy absorption. Nevertheless, a higher energy absorption can be realized by modifying the surface profile through increasing ...

Defects formation mechanism and evaluation of surface roughness in machining Al/SiCp composites
Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2018 During machining Al/SiCp composites, the machined surface takes on many defects such as grooves, pits, voids and protuberances, which greatly affect the characterization parameters of surface topography. However, a detailed investigation of the formation
