Nature-inspired systems exploiting porous media for multiphase flows
This thesis studies multi-phase flows within two different types of porous nature-inspired material systems: multi-layered feathers and synthetic trees. (1) How multilayered feathers enhance underwater superhydrophobicity. Inspired by ducks, here we demonstrate that air pockets can withstand up to f...
