In this study, visualization of droplet impact on hydrophobic micro-, micro/nano-textured surfaces and lubricant infused surfaces was performed. Experimental specimens were fabricated using MEMS (micro- electromechanical systems) techniques and droplet impact with pure water was visualized at various Weber number range (2 < We < 200) using a high speed camera at 8000 frames per second. Through this study it was confirmed that, various droplet impact behaviors were appeared as the Weber number was increased and the Weber number at which droplet impact behavior changes was affected by surface characteristics. Particularly, on the lubricant infused surface (LIS) after droplet impact retraction velocity is reduced by the lubricant viscosity effect during contraction process of droplet to improve the droplet deposition behavior on the surface. It was confirmed that droplet break up phenomena caused interfacial instability was slightly delayed on LIS due to the viscous dissipation effect during droplet impact process.

At a two phase flow, according to gas and liquid phase flow rates, various flow regimes are developed such as bubbly, slug/plug, churn, annular, droplet flow and so on. At a two phase flow in small scaled channels, among various flow regimes, the intermittent flows such as bubbly, slug/plug flow are developed in the broad regions of two phase flow pattern map. In particular, the flow regimes are influenced by surface wettability. In a case of slug flow in hydrophobic small scaled channels, gas and liquid phases are perfectively separated by interfaces and contact line. The pressure drop of the two-phase flow is largely generated at moving contact line. Therefore, to well design two-phase flow system with small scales, it is important to estimate the pressure drop at moving contact line. In this study, on the basis of previous research, the pressure drop at moving contact line is experimentally measured for a various fluids (0-40% water-ethanol mixtures). And, the previous correlation to estimate pressure drop at moving contact line is verified by experimental data. In an addition, we discuss interfacial broken phenomena of slug flow in a minichannel.
