| contents | Lubricant-impregnated surfaces (LIS) and superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) are known to passively reduce drag over a surface, which, with a suitable design such as the ribbed texture, can also steer flows anisotropically. Analytical predictions are developed for ribbed textures using an eigenfunction expansion approach. Compared to currently available analytical predictions, these predictions demonstrate superior numerical accuracy and avoid restrictive assumptions on rib geometry, working fluid and lubricant properties. The predictions provide contrasting design prescriptions depending on whether a lower drag or a larger degree of anisotropic flow deflection is desired. |
