Transport phenomena involving condensate liquids generated from the phase change heat transfer in microchannels and in engineered superhydrophobic surfaces require consideration of slip effects. In this study, the laminar film condensation…
Direct Numerical Simulations of two superposed fluids in a channel with a textured surface on the lower wall have been carried out. A parametric study varying the viscosity ratio between the two fluids has been performed to mimic both {\bf…
We present a quantitative analysis of the effect of rough hydrophobic surfaces on viscous newtonian flows. We use a model introduced by Ybert and coauthors in which the rough surface is replaced by a flat plane with alternating small areas…
The influence of periodic and random surface textures on the flow structure and effective slip length in Newtonian fluids is investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We consider a situation where the typical pattern size is…
Probing the fluid dynamics of thin films is an excellent tool to study the solid/liquid boundary condition. There is no need for external stimulation or pumping of the liquid due to the fact that the dewetting process, an internal…
The dynamic behavior of the slip length in a fluid flow confined between atomically smooth surfaces is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. At weak wall-fluid interactions, the slip length increases nonlinearly with the shear…
Interfacial fluctuations in a two-phase binary fluid mixture reveal signatures of underlying physical processes that occur within each phase and on a range of spatial and temporal scales. In this study, we investigate a model binary fluid…
The temperature dependence of the hydrodynamic boundary condition between a PDMS melt and two different non-attractive surfaces made of either an OTS (octadecyltrichlorosilane) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) or a grafted layer of short PDMS…
While the assumption of the ``no-slip" condition at a solid boundary is unquestioningly applied to study the flow characteristics of the Navier-Stokes fluid, there was considerable debate amongst the early pioneers of fluid mechanics, Du…
Experimental and modelling study is presented for the effect of a wide range of liquid viscosities on the droplet impact on a smooth solid surface at atmospheric pressure. A non-monotonic variation of threshold between droplet deposition…
Turbulent concentric coaxial (annular) pipe flow is numerically investigated using a stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model as a stand-alone tool. The dimensionally reduced ODT domain enables fully resolved numerical simulations…
The current study focuses on experimentally and theoretically improving the characterization of the drop size and drop velocity for like-on-like doublet impinging jets. The experimental measurements were made using phase Doppler anemometry…
We provide an ab-initio scaling analysis for liquid film thickness and Nusselt number of a steady laminar jet impacting a rotating heated plate. The limiting scaling regimes incorporating the evaporative effects along the liquid-vapor…
Numerical and experimental studies have demonstrated the drag-reducing potential of carefully designed streamwise-elongated riblets in lowering skin-friction drag. To support the systematic design of such surface corrugations, recent…
Classical hydrodynamic models predict that infinite work is required to move a three-phase contact line, defined here as the line where a liquid/vapor interface intersects a solid surface. Assuming a slip boundary condition, in which the…
Slip-boundary effects on the polar liquid film motor (PLFM) -- a novel micro-fluidic device with important implications for advancing knowledge on liquid micro-film's structure, dynamics, modeling and technology -- are studied. We develop a…
Understanding the dynamics of drops on polymer-coated surfaces is crucial for optimizing applications such as self-cleaning materials or microfluidic devices. While the static and dynamic properties of deposited drops have been well…
Thin liquid films on surfaces are part of our everyday life, they serve e.g. as coatings or lubricants. The stability of a thin layer is governed by interfacial forces, described by the effective interface potential, and has been subject of…
Effective slip boundary conditions for flows over periodic micro-structured surfaces containing a secondary immiscible fluid are derived. The primary fluid is in the Cassie state, while the geometries of the micro-structures can be…
We calculate the effective slip length for a rectangularly grooved periodic surface encapsulated (i.e., fully wetted) by a lubricant fluid and subjected to exterior shear flow parallel to the grooves. Our focus is the limit of a…
