| Research Abstract |
We investigated the effect of the wall surface properties(hydrophilicity or hydrophilicity, surface microstructure) on the behavior of gas-liquid interface and the effect of the gas-liquid interface on the drag reduction in a micro channel by numerical simulation. Only if the microstructure with a hydrophobic surface, the gas-liquid interface is formed in the fine structure. The Gas-liquid interface is the factors that give rise to drag reduction effect up to 33%. The drag reduction effect is affected by the location and the elevation of the gas-liquid interface, the channel height, and the Re number.
