| contents | Capillary imbibition underpins many processes of fundamental and applied relevance in fluid mechanics. A limitation to the flow is the coupling to the confining solid, which induces friction forces. Our work proposes a general theoretical framework for the modeling of the transport of liquids in lubricant impregnated surfaces. We show that for sufficiently small lubricant viscosity, dissipation entirely occurs in the lubricant layer, resulting in a linear growth of the advancing front. As a result, an external force gives rise to an exponential front growth. This new capacity to control multiphase flows sets new experimental challenges that can be determinant for micro and nanofluidic devices. |
