  • Self-propelled motion of film boiling droplets on ratchet-like surfaces 
    Melling, Laura (University of Oregon, 2003-06)
    We have observed a novel phenomenon by which asymmetrically structured surfaces can be used to direct the motion of film boiling droplets without applying an external force to the system. Droplets placed on such a surface ...
