The hydrodynamics of liquid flowing past gas sectors of unidirectional superhydrophobic surfaces is revisited. Attention is focussed on the local slip boundary condition at the liquid-gas interface, which is equivalent to the effect of a gas cavity on liquid flow. The system is characterized by a large viscosity contrast between liquid and gas, $mu/mu_g gg 1$. We interpret earlier results, namely the dependence of the local slip length on the flow direction, in terms of a tensorial local slip boundary condition and relate the eigenvalues of the local slip length tensor to the texture parameters, such as the width of the groove, $delta$, and the local depth of the groove, $e(y, alpha)$. The latter varies in the direction $y$, orthogonal to the orientation of stripes, and depends on the bevel angle of grooves edges, $pi/2 - alpha$, at the point, where three phases meet. Our theory demonstrates that when grooves are sufficiently deep their eigenvalues of the local slip length tensor depend only on $mu/mu_g$, $delta$, and $alpha$, but not on the depth. The eigenvalues of the local slip length of shallow grooves depend on $mu/mu_g$ and $e(y, alpha)$, although the contribution of the bevel angle is moderate. In order to assess the validity of our theory we propose a novel approach to solve the two-phase hydrodynamic problem, which significantly facilitates and accelerates calculations compared to conventional numerical schemes. The numerical results show that our simple analytical description obtained for limiting cases of deep and shallow grooves remains valid for various unidirectional textures.

The effects of insulating lids on the convection beneath were investigated experimentally using rectangular convection cells in the flux Rayleigh number range $2.3times10^{9}leq Ra_F leq 1.8times10^{11}$ and cylindrical cells in the range $1.4times10
^{10}leq Ra_F leq 1.2times10^{12}$ with the Prandtl number Pr fixed at 4.3. It is found that the presence of the insulating lids leads to reduction of the global heat transfer efficiency as expected, which primarily depends on the insulating area but is insensitive to the detailed insulating patterns. At the leading order level, the magnitude of temperature fluctuation in the bulk fluid is, again, found to be insensitive to the insulating pattern and mainly depends on the insulating area; while the temperature probability density function (PDF) in the bulk is essentially invariant with respect to both insulating area and the spatial pattern of the lids. The flow dynamics, on the other hand, is sensitive to both the covering area and the spatial distribution of the lids. At fixed $Ra_F$, the flow strength is found to increase with increasing insulating area so as to transfer the same amount of heat through a smaller cooling area. Moreover, for a constant insulating area, a symmetric insulating pattern results in a symmetric flow pattern, i.e. double-roll structure; whereas asymmetric insulating pattern leads to asymmetric flow, i.e. single-roll structure. It is further found that the symmetry breaking of the insulating pattern leads to a stronger flow that enhances the horizontal velocity more than the vertical one.
We report an experimental study aiming to clarify the role of boundary conditions (BC) in high Rayleigh number $10^8 < {rm{Ra}} < 3 times 10^{12}$ turbulent thermal convection of cryogenic helium gas. We switch between BC closer to constant heat flux
(CF) and constant temperature (CT) applied to the highly conducting bottom plate of the aspect ratio one cylindrical cell 30 cm in size, leading to dramatic changes in the temperature probability density function and in power spectral density of the temperature fluctuations measured at the bottom plate, while the dynamic thermal behaviour of the top plate and bulk convective flow remain unaffected. Within our experimental accuracy, we find no appreciable changes in Reynolds number Re(Ra) scaling, in the dimensionless heat transfer efficiency expressed via Nusselt number Nu(Ra) scaling, nor in the rate of direction reversals of large scale circulation.
We report on a comprehensive experimental-computational study of a simple T-shaped mixer for Reynolds numbers up to $4000$. In the experiments, we determine the mixing time by applying the Villermaux--Dushman characterization to a water-water mixture
. In the numerical simulations, we resolve down to the smallest (Kolmogorov) flow scales in space and time. Excellent agreement is obtained between the experimentally measured mixing time and numerically computed intensity of segregation, especially in the turbulent regime, which validates both approaches. We confirm that the mixing time is mainly determined by the specific power input, as assumed in most mixing-models. However, we show that by suitably manipulating the inflow conditions, the power input necessary to achieve a given mixing time can be reduced by a factor of six. Our study enables detailed investigations of the influence of hydrodynamics on chemical reactions and precipitation processes, as well as the detailed testing of turbulence and micromixing models.
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.
We present theoretical and numerical results that demonstrate the sensitivity of the shape of a static meniscus in a rectangular channel to localised geometric perturbations in the form of narrow ridges and grooves imposed on the channel walls. The Y
oung--Laplace equation is solved for a gas/liquid interface with fixed contact angle using computations, analytical arguments and semi-analytical solutions of a linearised model for small-amplitude perturbations. We find that the local deformation of the meniscuss contact line near a ridge or groove is strongly dependent on the shape of the perturbation. In particular, small-amplitude perturbations that change the channel volume (evaluated where they intersect the contact line) induce a change in the pressure difference across the meniscus, resulting in long-range curvature of its contact line. We derive an explicit expression for this induced pressure difference directly in terms of the boundary data. We show how contact lines can be engineered to assume prescribed patterns using suitable combinations of ridges and grooves.
