The effect of femtosecond laser fluence and pitches between V-shaped microgrooves on the dynamics of capillary flow

Open microgroove is one kind of capillary-driven superwicking surface structure. In this study, arrays of parallel V-shaped microgrooves were fabricated on an aluminum surface by using a femtosecond laser to obtain a superwicking surface which can quickly transport the water uphill against gravity....
