Viscous Marangoni propulsion
Eric Lauga, Anthony M. J. Davis
Marangoni propulsion is a form of locomotion wherein an asymmetric release of surfactant by a body located at the surface of a liquid leads to its directed motion. We present in th…
Hydrodynamic friction of fakir-like super-hydrophobic surfaces
Anthony M. J. Davis, Eric Lauga
A fluid droplet located on a super-hydrophobic surface makes contact with the surface only at small isolated regions, and is mostly in contact with the surrounding air. As a result…
The friction of a mesh-like super-hydrophobic surface
Anthony M. J. Davis, Eric Lauga
When a liquid droplet is located above a super-hydrophobic surface, it only barely touches the solid portion of the surface, and therefore slides very easily on it. More generally,…
Geometric transition in friction for flow over a bubble mattress
Anthony M. J. Davis, Eric Lauga
Laminar flow over a bubble mattress is expected to experience a significant reduction in friction since the individual surfaces of the bubbles are shear-free. However, if the bubbl…
