Superhydrophobic surfaces can provide a significant slip to a fluid flowing over the surface, making them attractive for the development of functional coatings. Although the global behaviour of flow past such surfaces has been widely investigated, understanding the local fundamentals that lead to slippage is still lacking. We studied in detail the local slip length and local flow field for water in the Cassie state on a structured superhydrophobic surface. Using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, we revealed that the local slip length of a superhydrophobic surface is finite, non-constant and anisotropic. Furthermore, it can be strongly influenced by the presence of surface active substances. All these properties are in accordance with and can be explained by a theoretical model of the local hydrodynamics close to the surface. The study shows the effect of surface properties, like the surface geometry or interfacial forces.
