Summary

Introduction

Reducing hydrodynamic skin-friction drag using superhydrophobic (SHPo) surfaces has attracted much attention over the last two decades. It is well understood that the ability to retain trapped gas, called plastron (Brocher 1909), that provides a large slip length is the key when assessing different SHPo surfaces for drag reduction. Studies showed that the slip length of a SHPo surface is determined by its.
