In this study, polyethylene oxides were used as a drag reducing additive. The effect of the concentration and molecular weight of the polymer on the level of drag reduction was examined using, 4 molecular weights (2 ร 10 5 , 4ร10 5 , 9ร10 5 and, 4 ร 10 6 ) and 4 concentrations (1, 5, 10 and, 20 wppm

The ability to reduce the frictional drag in turbulent flow in pipes and channels by addition of a small amount of a high molecular weight polymer has application in myriad industries and processes. Here, the drag reduction properties of the polyelectrolyte xanthan are explored in differing solvent
Abstraa-The signifi~t variables in drag reduction have been separated into two classitications, flow variables and solution variables. A theory has been offered which permits prediction of the critical Reynolds number in the turbulent flow of polymer solutions. The theory states that the relaxation
A novel eddy viscosity model for predicting friction drag reduction induced by polymers in turbulent wall-bounded flows is presented. The approach is based on the elliptic relaxation model modified to account for the modified Reynolds-stress equilibrium established by the presence of elastic polymer
