Study on the drag reduction mechanism of spheres with various hydrophobic types

In this paper, a 3D hydrophobic model was developed using User-Defined Functions to investigate the flow characteristics and drag reduction mechanism of spheres with various hydrophobic types. The results confirmed that for the fully hydrophobic spheres, the separation point was continuously shifted...
