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.
