Experimental investigation on drag reduction in turbulent boundary layer over superhydrophobic surface by TRPIV

This study aims at the mechanism of drag reduction in turbulent boundary layer (TBL) with superhydrophobic surface. Comparing the time-resolved particle image velocimetry (TRPIV) measurement results with that of hydrophilic surface, the drag reduction rate over a superhydrophobic surface is approxim...
