The problem of drag reduction in a helically coiled tube is examined experimentally. The general problems involved in the correlation of drag reduction data are analyzed critically, and some important recommendations are made based on the findings of this work. A phenomenological approach is suggest

Experimental evidence supporting an adsorptional mechanism for the reduction of friction drag in the turbulent pipe flow of dilute solutions of a polyoxyethylene in water has been obtained in the form of adsorption measurements, measurements indicating increased additive concentrations at the pipe w
The density and pressure fields of a dilute polymer solution are nonuniform at the surface of a small sphere even when there is no fluid motion. The polymer solution is modeled by an ensemble of Hookean dumbbells. A hard core potential is assumed as the only interaction between the sphere and the ma
