## 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

Secondary flows are always present when a turbulent Newtonian fluid flows through a square duct. We show that they are suppressed in surfactant solutions at maximum drag reduction. This result confirms the one-dimensional behaviour of such flows, which is caused by the alignment of the micelles.
