Bio-inspired plants water harvesting
The shape of cacti and other plants from semi- and arid regions have been evolutionarily optimized to increase water harvesting from water vapor and fog. This IPRE aims to carry out a detailed bibliographic review of the collection process from the point of view of fluid mechanics, and to develop experiments with 3D printed structures that allow optimizing the shape according to the physical mechanisms that govern the process of droplet formation and collection. The work involves a theoretical approach, but also experimental. The laboratory work is based on the application of 3D manufacturing techniques, and on the measurement of physical processes by means of optical techniques.
