- Additional information
- This work is the first in the world that uses a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses high fidelity numerical simulations, analytical calculations, experimental investigations, and design optimization to develop a framework for the rational science-based development of functional superhydrophobic surfaces. Investigates new phenomena of droplets jumping on superhydrophobic surfaces in previously unreported context of heat transfer rate optimisation. The work has great potential for the rational development of superhydrophobic coatings for a plethora of applications, including phase change heat transfer, self-cleaning, anti-icing, and anti-fouling. Contributed to Z. Khatir’s being CFD-Lead of EPSRC PACIFIC-funded project (EP/L018616/1).
