    • Self-propulsion of Leidenfrost Drops between Non-Parallel Structures 

      Luo, Cheng; Mrinal, Manjarik; Wang, Xiang (Springer NatureDepartment of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 20 Septemb)
      In this work, we explored self-propulsion of a Leidenfrost drop between non-parallel structures. A theoretical model was first developed to determine conditions for liquid drops to start moving away from the corner of two ...
    • Conditions for Barrel and Clam-Shell Liquid Drops to Move on Bio-inspired Conical Wires 

      Luo, Cheng; Wang, Xiang (Springer NatureDepartment of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, August 29,)
      It has been reported that, in a foggy environment, water drops with either barrel or clam-shell shapes are capable of self-running on conical wire-like structures, such as cactus spines, spider silk, and water striders’ ...
