This paper experimentally investigates the effects of microhole eccentricity on the slip lengths of Stokes flow in microchannels with the bottom wall made of microhole arrays. The wettability of such microhole structures fabricated by the replica molding of polydimethylsiloxane is first analyzed mea...
