Experimental investigation of drag reduction by polymer additives in a turbulent channel flow
DownloadSpring 2018
The addition of a minute amount of long-chain polymer molecules to a turbulent flow can cause a significant reduction of skin-friction drag in both internal and external flows. The explanation of interaction between polymers and turbulence remains the most difficult area of polymer flow...

Spring 2018
The aim of this study is to develop a technique capable of performing three-dimensional particle tracking by using images from a plenoptic (or light field) camera. Use of a plenoptic camera enables the collection of three-dimensional positional data within a volume, which would normally require...

Transport of Bubbles and Oil Droplets Rising in a Net Co-F1ow through a Rectangular Confinement
DownloadFall 2018
The passage of air bubbles and oil droplets with five net co-flow through a vertical straight rectangular flow channel is investigated experimentally and theoretically in this research. A flow channel, varying from 22 mm × 5.84 mm to 3 mm × 5.84 mm (width × thickness) cross-sectional geometry was...
