The inner and outer layers of a turbulent channel flow over a superhydrophobic surface (SHS) are characterized using simultaneous long-range microscopic particle tracking velocimetry (micro-PTV) and particle image velocimetry, respectively. The channel flow is operated at a low Reynolds number of ReH = 4400 (based on full channel height and 0.174 m/s bulk velocity), equivalent to Reτ = 140 (based on half channel height and friction velocity). The SHS is produced by spray coating, and the root-mean-square of wall roughness normalized by wall-unit is k+rms = 0.11. The micro-PTV shows 0.023 m/s slip velocity over the SHS (about 13% of the bulk velocity), which corresponds to a slip-length of ∼200 μm. A drag reduction of ∼19% based on the slope of the linear viscous sublayer and 22% based on an analytical expression of Rastegari and Akhavan [J. Fluid Mech. 773, R4 (2015)] realized. The reduced Reτ over the SHS based on the corresponding friction velocity is ∼125, which is in the lower limit of a turbulence re...
