On scaling of mass entrainment in separated shear layers: the footprint of the incoming boundary layer
Francesco Stella, Nicolas Mazellier, Azeddine Kourta
We experimentally investigate the effects on scaling of separating/reattaching flows of the ratio , where is the thickness at separation of the incoming boundary layer…
An Isotropic Porous Medium Approach to Drag Mitigation Disappearance in Super-Hydrophobic Falling Spheres
Marco Castagna, Nicolas Mazellier, Pierre-Yves Passaggia +1
In this Letter, the falling of super-hydrophobic spheres is investigated experimentally at low Reynolds numbers. In particular, we show that super-hydrophobic coatings become ineff…
Wake of super-hydrophobic falling spheres: influence of the air layer deformation
Marco Castagna, Nicolas Mazellier, Azeddine Kourta
We report an experimental investigation of the wake of free falling super-hydrophobic spheres. The mutual interaction between the air layer (plastron) encapsulating the super-hydro…
