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...

The purpose of this thesis is to obtain a better understanding of the behavior of particles within a particle-laden turbulent channel flow, as well as evaluate the suitability of the flow facility to measure particle-laden flows. Suitability of the flow loop for measurements of particle-laden...
