Experimental Study of Wall Shear Stress Modification by Surface Coating: Pressure Drop Measurements in a Rectangular Channel
Presented in this paper are experiments to test the hypothesis that drag reduction is possible over hydrophobic surfaces in the Wenzel state during laminar and turbulent flows. Quantification of surface drag reduction in rectangular channel flow over walls with specific hydrophobic or hydrophilic p...
