Laminar boundary layers over small-scale textured surfaces

Samuel D. Tomlinson, Demetrios T. Papageorgiou

We develop a model for steady, laminar boundary layers over small-scale textured surfaces. Although the texture is small relative to the boundary-layer thickness, it modifies the f…

Drag reduction in surfactant-contaminated superhydrophobic channels at high Péclet numbers

Samuel D. Tomlinson, Frédéric Gibou, Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz +3

Motivated by microfluidic applications, we investigate drag reduction in laminar pressure-driven flows in channels with streamwise-periodic superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) contami…

Unsteady evolution of slip and drag in surfactant-contaminated superhydrophobic channels

Samuel D. Tomlinson, Frédéric Gibou, Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz +3

Recognising that surfactants can impede the drag reduction resulting from superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs), we investigate the impact of spatio-temporal fluctuations in surfactant…

A model for slip and drag in turbulent flows over superhydrophobic surfaces with surfactant

Samuel D. Tomlinson, François Peaudecerf, Fernando Temprano-Coleto +4

Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) can reduce the friction drag in turbulent flows. In the laminar regime, it has been shown that trace amounts of surfactant can negate this drag red…

Laminar drag reduction in surfactant-contaminated superhydrophobic channels

Samuel D. Tomlinson, Frédéric Gibou, Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz +3

While superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) show promise for drag reduction applications, their performance can be compromised by traces of surfactant, which generate Marangoni stresses…
