Hydrodynamics and Hairy Surfaces
Abstract eng: Flexible slender structures in flow are everywhere. While a great deal is known about individual flexible fibers interacting with fluids, considerably less work has been done on fiber ensembles, such as fur or hair, in flow. These hairy surfaces are abundant in nature and perform multiple functions from thermal regulation to water harvesting to sensing. Motivated by these biological systems, we consider two examples of hairy surfaces interacting with flow: (1) air entrainment in the fur of diving mammals and (2) symmetry breaking in hairy microchannels.
