A model for the boundary layer of a fully-developed turbulent pipe flow is presented in which the boundary layer is assumed IO consist of lumps which are. defined as fluid elements of laminar flow with unsteady velocity profiles and random ages. A burst is considered as the sudden replacement of a l

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
## Abstract In order to investigate the effects of injection position on drag reduction as well as further the effects of polymer additives on turbulent structures, LDA measurements of turbulent pipe flows were conducted. The results show that the amount of drag reduction grows with the increase of
Some additives, like surfactants or polymers, in aqueous solutions lead to dramatic drag reducing effects. Classically the range of concentration of surfactant additive is greater than 500 ppm. It was recently demonstrated that an aqueous solution of CTAC/NaSal (cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride and
