Annular Injection of Concentrated Polymer Solutions into the Wall Region of a Turbulent Pipe Flow

  • Conference paper
Book cover The Influence of Polymer Additives on Velocity and Temperature Fields

Abstract

The results of an experimental study of the injection of concentrated polymer solutions into the near-wall region of a turbulent pipe flow are presented. Local drag reduction and friction behaviour was obtained by measuring pressure differences over a test section 13 m in length.

The results show a different type of behaviour than that obtained with homogeneous solutions as well as for centre-line or direct wall injection.
