• parameters can be seen in Table 3. As a boundary condition, the interface between the support and the glue is fixed in all directions. The deformation of the TF is calculated for a force applied in the z-direction at the end of the free prong. In an iterative procedure, a closer mesh is generated in areas of

• no-slip boundary condition (Figure 2, left) [25][26]. However, for hydrophobic surfaces, fluid film exhibits a phenomenon known as slip, which means that the fluid velocity near the solid surface is not equal to the velocity of the solid surface (Figure 2, right) [27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. The

Figure 7 shows the bar chart showing the slip length in the channel with various surfaces using water flow in laminar flow (0 < Re < 300). The average values of

• of the friction factor for turbulent flow in a rectangular channel, Jones [56] developed an improved equivalent diameter, De = 64DH/k, thus the friction factor for turbulent flow can be modified as Next, we present an analysis to calculate slip length in laminar flow.
