The study reports the aspects of postimpact hydrodynamics of ferrofluid droplets on superhydrophobic SH surfaces in the presence of a horizontal magnetic field. A wide gamut of dynamics was observed by varying the impact Weber number We, the Hartmann number Ha and the magnetic field strength manifested through the magnetic Bond number Bom. For a fixed We 60, we observed that at moderately low Bom 300, droplet rebound off the SH surface is suppressed. The noted We is chosen to observe various impact outcomes and to reveal the consequent ferrohydrodynamic mechanisms. We also show that ferrohydrodynamic interactions leads to asymmetric spreading, and the droplet spreads preferentially in a direction orthogonal to the magnetic field lines. We show analytically that during the retraction regime, the kinetic energy of the droplet is distributed unequally in the transverse and longitudinal directions due to the Lorentz force. This ultimately leads to suppression of droplet rebound. We study the role of Bom at fixed We 60, and observed that the liquid lamella becomes unstable at the onset of retraction phase, through nucleation of holes, their proliferation and rupture after reaching a critical thickness only on SH surfaces, but is absent on hydrophilic surfaces. We propose an analytical model to predict the onset of instability at a critical Bom. The analytical model shows that the critical Bom is a function of the impact We, and the critical Bom decreases with increasing We. We illustrate a phase map encompassing all the post impact ferrohydrodynamic phenomena on SH surfaces for a wide range of We and Bom.

The present article discusses the physics and mechanics of evaporation of pendent, aqueous ferrofluid droplets and modulation of the same by external magnetic field. We show experimentally and by mathematical analysis that the presence of magnetic fi
eld improves the evaporation rates of ferrofluid droplets. First we tackle the question of improved evaporation of the colloidal droplets compared to water, and propose physical mechanisms to explain the same. Experiments show that the changes in evaporation rates aided by the magnetic field cannot be explained on the basis of changes in surface tension, or based on classical diffusion driven evaporation models. Probing using particle image velocimetry shows that the internal advection kinetics of such droplets plays a direct role towards the augmented evaporation rates by modulating the associated Stefan flow. Infrared thermography reveal changes in the thermal gradients within the droplet and evaluating the dynamic surface tension reveals presence of solutal gradients within the droplet, both brought about by the external field. Based on the premise, a scaling analysis of the internal magnetothermal and magnetosolutal ferroadvection behavior is presented. The model incorporates the role of the governing Hartmann number, the magnetothermal Prandtl number and the magnetosolutal Schmidt number. The analysis and stability maps reveal that the magneto-solutal ferroadvection is the more dominant mechanism, and the model is able to predict the internal advection velocities with accuracy. Further, another scaling model to predict the modified Stefan flow is proposed, and is found to accurately predict the improved evaporation rates.
Superhydrophobic surfaces reduce drag by combining hydrophobicity and roughness to trap gas bubbles in a micro- and nanoscopic texture. Recent work has focused on specific cases, such as striped grooves or arrays of pillars, with limited theoretical
guidance. Here, we consider the experimentally relevant limit of thin channels and obtain rigorous bounds on the effective slip length for any two-component (e.g. low-slip and high-slip) texture with given area fractions. Among all anisotropic textures, parallel stripes attain the largest (or smallest) possible slip in a straight, thin channel for parallel (or perpendicular) orientation with respect to the mean flow. For isotropic (e.g. chessboard or random) textures, the Hashin-Strikman conditions further constrain the effective slip. These results provide a framework for the rational design of superhydrophobic surfaces.
The present article experimentally and theoretically probes the evaporation kinetics of sessile saline droplets. Observations reveal that presence of solvated ions leads to modulated evaporation kinetics, which is further a function of surface wettab
ility. On hydrophilic surfaces, increasing salt concentration leads to enhanced evaporation rates, whereas on superhydrophobic surfaces, it first enhances and reduces with concentration. Also, the nature and extents of the evaporation regimes constant contact angle or constant contact radius are dependent on the salt concentration. The reduced evaporation on superhydrophobic surfaces has been explained based on observed via microscopy crystal nucleation behaviour within the droplet. Purely diffusion driven evaporation models are noted to be unable to predict the modulated evaporation rates. Further, the changes in the surface tension and static contact angles due to solvated salts also cannot explain the improved evaporation behaviour. Internal advection is observed using PIV to be generated within the droplet and is dependent on the salt concentration. The advection dynamics has been used to explain and quantify the improved evaporation behaviour by appealing to the concept of interfacial shear modified Stefan flows around the evaporating droplet. The analysis leads to accurate predictions of the evaporation rates. Further, another scaling analysis has been proposed to show that the thermal and solutal Marangoni advection within the system leads to the advection behaviour. The analysis also shows that the dominant mode is the solutal advection and the theory predicts the internal circulation velocities with good accuracy. The findings may be of importance to microfluidic thermal and species transport systems.
Superhydrophobic surfaces demonstrate promising potential for skin friction reduction in naval and hydrodynamic applications. Recent developments of superhydrophobic surfaces aiming for scalable applications use random distribution of roughness, such
as spray coating and etched process. However, most of previous analyses of the interaction between flows and superhydrophobic surfaces studied periodic geometries that are economically feasible only in lab-scale experiments. We conduct direct numerical simulations of turbulent flows over randomly patterned interfaces considering a range of texture widths $w^+approx 4-26$, and solid fractions $phi_s=11%$ to $25%$. Slip and no-slip boundary conditions are implemented in a pattern, modeling the presence of gas-liquid interfaces and solid elements. Our results indicate that slip of randomly distributed textures under turbulent flows are about $30%$ less than those of surfaces with aligned features of the same size. In the small texture size limit $w^+approx 4$, the slip length of the randomly distributed textures in turbulent flows is well described by a previously introduced Stokes flow solution of randomly distributed shear-free holes. By comparing DNS results for patterned slip and no-slip boundary against the corresponding homogenized slip length boundary conditions, we show that turbulent flows over randomly distributed posts can be represented by an isotropic slip length in streamwise and spanwise direction. The average pressure fluctuation on gas pocket is similar to that of the aligned features with the same texture size and gas fraction, but the maximum interface deformation at the leading edge of the roughness element is about twice larger when the textures are randomly distributed.
In this article we report the atypical and anomalous evaporation kinetics of saline sessile droplets on surfaces with elevated temperatures. In a previous we showed that saline sessile droplets evaporate faster compared to water droplets when the sub
strates are not heated. In the present study we discover that in the case of heated surfaces, the saline droplets evaporate slower than the water counterpart, thereby posing a counter-intuitive phenomenon. The reduction in the evaporation rates is directly dependent on the salt concentration and the surface wettability. Natural convection around the droplet and thermal modulation of surface tension is found to be inadequate to explain the mechanisms. Flow visualisations using particle image velocimetry PIV reveals that the morphed advection within the saline droplets is a probable reason behind the arrested evaporation. Infrared thermography is employed to map the thermal state of the droplets. A thermosolutal Marangoni based scaling analysis is put forward. It is observed that the Marangoni and internal advection borne of thermal and solutal gradients are competitive, thereby leading to the overall decay of internal circulation velocity, which reduces the evaporation rates. The theoretically obtained advection velocities conform to the experimental results. This study sheds rich insight on a novel yet anomalous species transport behaviour in saline droplets.
