Summary: This study investigated an icephobic coating with a self-formed superhydrophobic surface using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and SiO2 powder. The effect of superhydrophobicity on icephobicity was determined by varying the experimental parameters, and the mechanical properties of the icephobic layer were improved by adding polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to the PDMS solution. The PDMS-PVDF mixture coating exhibited improved icephobicity and mechanical properties due to the multilevel nanostructure formed by physical and chemical interactions with SiO2 powder.

Summary: Ice accretion is a hazardous process where a layer of ice builds up on solid objects. Siloxane-modified nanocomposites have been found to be effective in preventing ice accretion. A nanocomposite with a concentration of 35 wt% silica nanoparticles has been shown to exhibit excellent icephobicity by facilitating droplet rebounding, reducing water nucleation temperature, delaying freezing process, and reducing ice adhesion strength. These nanocomposite coatings also maintain their adhesion strength, wettability, and icephobicity after multiple icing/thaw cycles.

Summary: The liquid-infused polymeric surfaces with promising icephobicity face challenges in maintaining performance after material damage. Inspired by cetacean skin, glycerol-infused fiber-reinforced polyurethane (GIFRP) coatings have been developed to delay water droplet freezing and reduce ice adhesion under erosion tests. Incorporating fibers in the coatings has proven beneficial for infused-liquid replenishment and slow-releasing capabilities, leading to minimal ice adhesion even after substantial surface damage.

Summary: Superhydrophobic surfaces with high static contact angle and low contact angle hysteresis have the potential to inhibit ice formation. However, the freezing behavior on multiscaled rough superhydrophobic surfaces that are of practical significance is not well studied. This article presents the freezing dynamics of water droplets on multiscale fractal superhydrophobic surfaces, showing that increasing surface hydrophobicity leads to longer freezing time due to increased contact angle and poor interfacial conduction. The study also discusses the application of numerical models to different metallic materials and fabrication methods, offering guidelines for the design of anti-icing surfaces in practice.

Summary: Ice buildup is a persistent challenge in various industries, negatively affecting system performance. A new composite panel inspired by animal skin has been proposed, consisting of a nanofluid layer protected by a facesheet, which shows durable anti-icing and tunable photothermal properties. The viscous liquid layer beneath the facesheet alters ice adhesion to the surface, resulting in low ice adhesion strengths. By altering the fluid properties, additional functionalities can be endowed to the system, such as impact resistance and tunable photothermal properties, making it a promising multifunctional de-icing material.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential of biomimetic nanocomposites in aerospace applications for anti-/deicing by utilizing surface microstructure design and flexible temperature control capabilities. The presence of surface micropillars leads to increased ice adhesion strength and decreased ice/frost formation compared to flat surfaces, while higher temperatures result in reduced contact angle and ice adhesion strength. The results suggest promising opportunities for the use of biomimetic nanocomposites in aerospace for ice prevention and removal.

Summary: Supercooled droplet freezing on surfaces is a common phenomenon in nature and industry, but little is known about its effect on droplet-substrate interactions and the design of icephobic surfaces. This study investigates freezing of supercooled droplets on textured surfaces and identifies surface properties that promote ice expulsion. The study also explores mechanisms through which repellency falters and provides insights into the phenomenology of ice adhesion throughout freezing. The findings contribute to the design of icephobic surfaces for increased safety and sustainability in engineering applications.

Summary: This study investigated and compared the compression responses and energy absorption capacities of coral sand and silica sand at a strain rate of approximately 1000 s-1. The results showed that coral sand had significantly higher energy absorption capacity than silica sand due to its higher compressibility. The study findings suggest that using poorly graded coral sand can improve its energy absorption capacity.

Summary: This study investigates the double-average turbulence characteristics of combined wave-current flow over a rough bed with different spacing arrangements. The results show that a spacing ratio of p/r=4 offers the highest resistance to the flow, and the double-average Reynolds stress decreases throughout the flow depth. The advection of momentum-flux of normal stress shows an increase at the outer layer and a decrease near the bed region after wave imposition. Maximum turbulence kinetic energy production and diffusion occur at different layers. The turbulence structure is strongly anisotropic at the bottom region and near the outer layer, with a decrease in anisotropy observed with an increase in roughness spacing.

Summary: The deep-water bridge is more vulnerable to earthquake damage than the bridge standing in air. The larger blocking ratio has a significant impact on the added mass coefficient, which requires further comprehensive study. The generation mechanism of block effect is analyzed using numerical simulation software ANSYS Fluent. The results show that the recirculation zone with focus reduces the pressure on the back surface of the cylinder, resulting in the peak value of in-line force not occurring synchronously with the peak value of acceleration. The change in position and intensity of the recirculation zone with focus, as well as the change in water flow around the cylinder surface, are identified as the generation mechanism of the block effect, which has a 10% influence on the hydrodynamic force. The changing rule of the added mass coefficient with blocking ratio is discussed in detail, and a modification approach to the current added mass coefficient calculation method is suggested. Physical experiments are conducted to validate the modification approach, and the results show that it is accurate and can be used in further study and real practice.
