Drag reduction by polymer additives from turbulent spectra.
We extend the analysis of the friction factor for turbulent pipe flow reported by G. Gioia and P. Chakraborty [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 044502 (2006)] to the case where drag is reduced by polymer additives.
متن کاملDrag reduction in a flat-plate turbulent boundary layer flow by polymer additives
This paper presents a theoretical study on the velocity distribution and the friction factor of boundary layer flows with polymer additives starting from the concept of “stress deficit.” A novel method of order of magnitude analysis is developed, which converts the governing equations of boundary layer flow into a solvable ordinary differential equation, thus the total shear stress distribution...
متن کاملA Role of Elastic Energy in Turbulent Drag Reduction by Polymer Additives
In the present study, the mechanism of turbulent drag reduction by polymer additives in a fully developed channel ow is investigated using direct numerical simulation. In order to see the elastic e ect on turbulent drag reduction, the dilute polymer solution is expressed with an Oldroyd-B model which shows a linear elastic behavior. Simulations are carried out by changing the Weissenberg number...
متن کاملTurbulent Drag Reduction by Spanwise Wall Oscillations
The objective of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of wall oscillation as a control scheme of drag reduction. Two flow configurations are considered: constant flow rate and constant mean pressure gradient. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved using Fourier-Chebyshev spectral methods and the oscillation in sinusoidal form is enforced on the walls through boundary conditions for the sp...
متن کاملDrag reduction by polymer additives in decaying turbulence.
We present results from a systematic numerical study of decaying turbulence in a dilute polymer solution by using a shell-model version of the finitely extensible nonlinear elastic and Peterlin equations. Our study leads to an appealing definition of the drag reduction for the case of decaying turbulence. We exhibit several new results, such as the potential-energy spectrum of the polymer, hith...
