The transportation of mixtures of particles and liquids using slurry pipelines plays a crucial role in the petroleum and mining industries. Slurry pipeline flows are typically turbulent and the presence of the particulate phase results in pipe wear and increased pumping cost. As a result, slurry...

A reduction in skin-friction drag can lead to lower energy consumption in variety of transportation vehicles, and consequently results in a smaller environmental impact. Several methods have been presented to reduce the skin-fiction and one of these methods is to introduce an air layer at the...

Investigating the Performance of Randomly Patterned Superhydrophobic Surfaces in Laminar and Turbulent Channel Flows
DownloadSpring 2019
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) have been investigated based on their success in water repellency, anti-fouling, and drag reducing effects seen in nature (Neinhuis & Bartlott 1997; Kreuz et al. 2001). SHSs utilize a low surface energy material with a microscale surface roughness to prevent water...
