Liquid flowing around a solid edge, i.e., overflow, is a commonly observed flow behavior. Recent research into surface wetting properties and microstructure-controlled overflow behavior has attracted much attention. Achieving controllable macroscale liquid dynamics by manipulating the micro-nanoscale liquid overflow has stimulated diverse scientific interest and fostered widespread use in practical applications. In this review, we outline the evolution of overflow and present a critical survey of the mechanism of surface wetting properties and microstructure-controlled liquid overflow in multilength scales ranging from centimeter to micro and even nanoscale. We summarize the latest progress in utilizing the mechanisms to manipulate liquid overflow and achieve macroscale liquid dynamics and in emerging applications to manipulate overflow for sustainable development in various fields, along with challenges and perspectives.

具有仿生结构的超润湿表面对可持续发展的溢流控制

液体围绕固体边缘流动，即溢出，是一种常见的流动行为。最近对表面润湿性和微观结构控制的溢流行为的研究引起了广泛关注。通过操纵微纳米级液体溢流实现可控的宏观液体动力学已经激发了不同的科学兴趣，并促进了在实际应用中的广泛使用。在这篇综述中，我们概述了溢流的演变过程，并对从厘米到微米甚至纳米级的多尺度范围内的表面润湿特性和微观结构控制的液体溢流机制进行了批判性调查。
