Modeling Time-Dependent Performance of Submerged Superhydrophobic or Slippery Surfaces

The goal of this study is to quantify the transient performance of microfabricated superhydrophobic surfaces when used in underwater applications. A mathematical framework is developed and used to predict the stability, longevity, and drag reduction benefits of submerged superhydrophobic surfaces wi...
