On the Drag Coefficient Universality of a Rough Grain in Creeping Flow
Si Suo, Deheng Wei, Budi Zhao +2
Controversy exists regarding whether grain morphology reduces or enhances the drag of a single grain in creeping flows; further complication occurs when orientation dependence for…

Contact-angle hysteresis provides resistance to drainage of liquid-infused surfaces in turbulent flows
Sofia Saoncella, Si Suo, Johan Sundin +5
Lubricated textured surfaces immersed in liquid flows offer tremendous potential for reducing fluid drag, enhancing heat and mass transfer, and preventing fouling. According to cur…
