Abstract:Surface roughness is a crucial factor of fluid flow in microfluidic channels. Most of the existing studies focus on the effect of regular microstructured surfaces on fluid flow, while researchs about the impact of random rough surfaces on fluid flow remains limited. Therefore, in this study, a random rough surface model and two microstructured surface models were established, and the effects surface roughness on the fluid flow at Wenzel state and Cassie-Baxter state were studied using COMSOL multi-physics simu… Show more
