This book was released on 1973 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of an experimental investigation was to study the effect that a drag-reducing polymer has on the turbulent boundary layer of a submerged flat plate using a Laser-Doppler flowmeter. Data are presented showing the time effects caused by polymer solution drag-reduction degradation on the mean velocity and axial fluctuating-velocity profiles. The importance of the data is that it provides a connection between the apparently diverse results reported previously for the velocity profiles at conditions of high and low drag-reduction effectiveness. The polymer molecules' effect on the boundary layer structure is apparently progressively restricted to the near wall region with decreasing drag reduction in agreement with the mean velocity profiles.

This book was released on 1965 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation was made into the effects of injecting non-Newtonian fluids into the turbulent boundary layer of a flat plate. The ejection of weakly viscoelastic solutions of a macromolecular polymer at the leading edge of the plate decreased its drag coefficient by as much as 50%; the Reynolds number of the plate was 1.8 x 10 to the 6th power. It was found that for a given ejection rate and free stream velocity there was a solution concentration for which the drag coefficient was a minimum. It is conjectured that the relatively sharp loss of effectiveness for higher concentrations may be due to insufficient mixing of the additive into the turbulent boundary layer. Ejection of neutrally buoyant spherical particles, not too much larger than the macromolecules, had no effect on the drag of the plate, indicating that the drag reduction is probably associated with the viscoelastic properties of the solutions studied.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drag reduction by injection of high molecular weight polymers into boundary layers has been demonstrated repeatedly in the past. However, from a volume utilization tradeoff standpoint, the quantities of polymer required make the gains achieved by this process marginal. While indicating reduced polymer requirements for drag reduction, limited data obtained from pipe flow and external boundary layer flow experiments are conflicting and hard to interpret. Ambiguities in measurement techniques due to polymer effects on commonly used instrumentation and opposing features of varied flow facilities have also contributed to making these earlier works contradictory and difficult to resolve. Experiments performed in this research indicate that turbulence intensity distributions are altered by the addition of polymer in such a way that the peak of turbulence production is lowered and its location moved away from the wall. The transition region is delayed and extended by the addition of polymer to the boundary layer. The laminar sublayer of boundary layer profiles appears to have thickened due to the addition of polymer. When compared to the law of the wall corrected for developing flow, the velocity profiles also show evidence of a thickened sublayer.
