Abstract: In this work, flow friction in microchannels decorated with micropillars was investigated experimentally, with an interest to understand the wetting transition through two simple means: Poiseuille number and scaling laws. Different wetting states were demarcated… read more here.

Abstract: HYPOTHESIS The macroscopic movement of subsurface fluids involved in CO2 storage, groundwater, and petroleum engineering applications is controlled by interfacial forces in the pores of rocks. Recent advances in modelling these systems has arisen from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0270879
Abstract: The Cassie state surface, exemplified by lotus and rice leaves, and the Wenzel state surface, exemplified by rose petals, are both superhydrophobic due to their unique structures. The objective is to expand the primitive wettability… read more here.
