Droplet absorption and spreading into thin layers of polymer hydrogels
Merlin A. Etzold, George T. Fortune, Julien R. Landel +1
From biological tissues to layers of paint, macroscopic non-porous materials with the capacity to swell when brought in contact with an appropriate solvent are ubiquitous. Here, we…

Three-dimensional advective--diffusive boundary layers in open channels with parallel and inclined walls
Merlin A. Etzold, Julien R. Landel, Stuart B. Dalziel
We study the steady laminar advective transport of a diffusive passive scalar released at the base of narrow three-dimensional longitudinal open channels with non-absorbing side wa…

A theory for the slip and drag of superhydrophobic surfaces with surfactant
Julien R. Landel, François J. Peaudecerf, Fernando Temprano-Coleto +3
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) have the potential to reduce drag at solid boundaries. However, multiple independent studies have recently shown that small amounts of surfactant,…
