Sustainable drag reduction in Taylor-Couette flow using riblet superhydrophobic surfaces
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) have been proven effective in reducing frictional drag force in various flow conditions. However, at high flow speeds, the air plastron on these surfaces collapses, leading to a decline in their effectiveness. In this study, we investigated the frictional drag forces of various SHSs and their combination with surface patterns across a wide range of flow conditions ( < Re < ) by using an facile coating method. Our experiments involved incorporating a superhydrophobic coating on the inner cylinder of a custom-made Taylor-Couette apparatus, integrated with a rheometer to measure torque applied on the inner rotor as a function of rotational speed. As part of our research, we calculate the effective slip length to assess the drag reduction performance of coatings, revealing an effective slip length of around 63 µm on a flat SHS. Furthermore, we explore the combined effect of superhydrophobic coatings and triangular-shaped riblets on drag reduction in Taylor-Couette flow, comparing the performance of these surfaces based on the riblet’s sharpness and the Reynolds number. Our experimental results show a reduction in measured torque of up to 24 % and 48 % on a V-grooved SHS in laminar and turbulent flow, respectively. Longevity tests confirm that the designed surfaces maintain their superhydrophobicity and drag reduction performance under turbulent flow conditions. Overall, this work introduces a passive drag reduction strategy through surface design, which substantially mitigates the frictional drag force and demonstrating considerable potential for enhanced performance and increased efficiency of Taylor-Couette systems.
