Abstract

A superhydrophobic phenomenon during fluids flow through microchannel due to the presence of the textures on the walls of the channels was considered. A numerical study of fluids flow and mixing in the microchannel at different Reynolds numbers and average roughness sizes has been carried out. The shift in the critical Reynolds number of the transition from the vortex symmetric flow regime to the vortex asymmetric (engulfment) regime towards lower values in the T-shaped microchannels with textured walls was found. The substantially unsteady structures in the straight microchannels with textured walls at Reynolds numbers of about 1000 were obtained.
