Shear flow over a surface containing a groove covered by an incompressible surfactant phase

Tobias Baier et al.

Summary: This study investigates shear-driven liquid flow over a planar surface with an embedded gas-filled groove, revealing that recirculating flow occurs when the gas-liquid interface slightly protrudes or embeds into the surface, while no flow is induced on a planar gas-liquid interface. The validity of the expansion is assessed by comparing the obtained analytical results with numerical calculations. This research sheds light on the mobility of curved gas-liquid interfaces in the presence of surfactants acting as an incompressible surface fluid.

Superhydrophobic surface immobilisation by insoluble surfactant

Michael D. Mayer et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of insoluble surfactants on transverse flow over a superhydrophobic surface. Two mechanisms of surface immobilisation are identified: one is the formation of a stagnant cap at higher surface Peclet numbers, and the other is the formation of an immobilised region near the downstream edge of the meniscus. This study enhances understanding of how insoluble surfactants degrade slip over superhydrophobic surfaces.
