Spring 2016
The current study investigates the drag reduction (DR) using high molecular weight polymers such as commercial polyacrylamide, polysaccharides and thermo-responsive polymers. A Taylor-Couette (TC) setup was designed and fabricated to examine the abovementioned polymers for drag reduction, and to...

Particle image velocimetry/ tracking in turbulent flow over riblet surfaces with superhydrophobic coating
DownloadFall 2016
Riblet surfaces have been introduced as of one successful technique to reduce skin-friction. Advanced particle image velocimetry (PIV) and particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) are employed to investigate turbulent structures over riblet surfaces by several researchers including Suzuki and Kasagi...
