The Influence of Polymer Additives on Velocity and Temperature Fields

Abstract

The steady attention of investigators to the problem of turbulent drag reduction by polymer additives is connected both with the search of reasonable answers to the question, why insignificant quantities of a polymer (at concentrations about 10−6 – 10−4 g/sm3) are capable of changing the structure of wall turbulence efficiently, and also with practical supplements, the number of which is permanently increased.
