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...

Transition From Laminar to Turbulent Flow in Non-Newtonian Channel Flows: The Impact of Drag Reducing Polymer Additives
DownloadFall 2023
This thesis investigates the effect of a drag-reducing polymer on laminar-turbulent transition in a gravity-driven channel flow. The drag-reducing polymer is polyacrylamide (PAM) dissolved in water at concentrations of 50, 75, 100, and 150 parts per million (ppm). An extensive experimental...
