Turbulent Drag Reduction by Surfactant Additives
Li, Feng-Chen / Yu, Bo / Wei, Jin-Jia / Kawaguchi, Yasuo
Turbulent drag reduction by additives has long been a hot research topic. This phenomenon is inherently associated with multifold expertise. Solutions of drag-reducing additives are usually viscoelastic fluids having complicated rheological properties. Exploring the characteristics of drag-reduced turbulent flows calls for uniquely designed experimental and numerical simulation techniques and elaborate theoretical considerations. Pertinently u...
