Fast capillary waves on an underwater superhydrophobic surface
Abstract The propagation of interfacial waves in free and constrained conditions, such as deep and shallow water, has been broadly studied over centuries. It is a common event that anyone can witness, while contemplating the ocean waves washing ashore. As a complementary configuration, this work introduces waves propagating on an interface restricted by its pinning to the solid microstructures of an underwater superhydrophobic surface. The latter has the ability to stabilize a well-defined microscale gas layer, called a plastron, trapped between the water and the solid phase. The acoustic radiation force produced with focused MHz ultrasound successfully triggers kHz “plastronic waves”, i.e., capillary waves travelling on a plastron’s gas-water interface. The exposed waves possess interesting features, i.e., (i) a high propagation speed up to 45 times faster than conventional deep water capillary waves of comparable wavelength and (ii) a relation of the propagation speed with the geometry of the microstructures. Based on this and on the observed variation of wave speed over time in conditions of gas-undersaturated or -supersaturated water, the usefulness of the plastronic waves for the non-destructive monitoring of the plastron’s stability and the spontaneous air diffusion is eventually demonstrated.

Adaptive grid resilient based protection method for multi fault scenarios in medium voltage quintuple DC microgrid system
Abstract Multi-microgrid systems offer a versatile solution to many of the challenges including issues on power glitches, grid flow optimization, stability and protection system malfunction faced by traditional centralized power grids. By enhancing resilience, integrating renewable energy, improving efficiency, and supporting economic and environmental goals, they represent a forward-looking approach to modern energy management. Despite of technological progress in fault current detection, significant challenges oriented to false tripping and protection blinding in multi- microgrid structures compared to single microgrid topology still remain unresolved. The primary aspects that require focus while multigrid resilience includes fast fault detection and interruption, nuisance tripping and blinding of protection. This paper enhances the fault isolation speed by proposing adaptive grid resilient scheme (AGRS) with fault identification method using level order tree traversal (LOTT) and Bidirectional Dial’s algorithm, which functions with the assistance of MGMFDS (Microgrid Monitoring Fault Detection System). The presented work analyses the implementation of the proposed adaptive algorithm and tested for various types of faults in a 35-bus quintuple system, where its efficacy in interrupting the fault takes 2.64 ms. The experiments for the proposed work are conducted using a real time simulator for model in loop (MIL) and control hardware in loop (CHIL) testing.
