Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the aspect ratio of micropillar or microwell arrays influences the movement of spheres in flooded environments with low Reynolds numbers.
- The researchers varied microstructure heights and surface coverage to assess how these factors affect sphere motion, finding that taller structures lead to increased rotational velocities.
- They modeled sphere motion using effective separation and friction coefficients, confirming their predictions matched experimental results; additionally, they analyzed sliding friction to show that microstructure impacts increase with higher Hersey numbers.
