Abstract
Low flow drag is of great importance to a variety of engineering applications, and an effective way to achieve low drag is to use bioinspired micro-structured surfaces. This work aims to reduce the skin-friction drag in closed channel flow using textured surfaces inspired by leaves of indocalamus and rice. The channel formed by a polydimethylsiloxane chunk and a silicon wafer was fabricated to study drag reduction behavior for water or liquid paraffin oil in laminar flow. Bioinspired textures were processed on silicon wafer surface using deep silicon plasma etching method. We measured the pressure drop of water or paraffin oil passing through textured channels with different velocities. The maximum pressure drop reduction for the paraffin oil flow with low velocity (Re≈1) and for the water flow with high velocity (Re<1000) were about 5.1% and 27.3%, respectively. We also presented the contact angles of bioinspired textured surface, and then proposed mechanisms to explain the drag reduction. The hydrophobicity leading to the changing from the liquid-solid interface to the liquid-air interface is believed to provides the drag reduction for water flow, while the thin oil film formed on the textured surface due to the oleophilicity helps to reduce the oil flow drag.

期刊介绍:
The material innovations on surfaces, combined with understanding and manipulation of physics and chemistry of functional surfaces and coatings, have exploded in the past decade at an incredibly rapid pace.
Superhydrophobicity, superhydrophlicity, self-cleaning, self-healing, anti-fouling, anti-bacterial, etc., have become important fundamental topics of surface science research community driven by curiosity of physics, chemistry, and biology of interaction phenomenon at surfaces and their enormous potential in practical applications. Materials having controlled-functionality surfaces and coatings are important to the manufacturing of new products for environmental control, liquid manipulation, nanotechnological advances, biomedical engineering, pharmacy, biotechnology, and many others, and are part of the most promising technological innovations of the twenty-first century.
