Drag reduction and solvation in polymer solutions
A model is described which explains drag reduction (DR) in dilute polymer solutions in terms of solvation of macromolecular chains and formation of relatively stable domains. The domains partly suppress the vortex formation, act as energy sinks, and also play a role in mechanical degradation in flow (MDF). We report ultrasonically determined solvation numbers for a series of copolymers with the...
متن کاملDrag Reduction in Turbulent Flow of Polymer Solutions
Progress in understanding turbulent drag reduction by polymer additives has recently been made on several fronts. The near-wall dynamics of Newtonian turbulence is becoming better understood. Detailed computations of complex flows of model polymer solutions are now possible. Insights into the effects of viscoelasticity have been gained from a number of important model flows, and the understandi...
متن کاملDrag Reduction by Surfactant Solutions in Gravity Driven Flow Systems
Efflux time measurements are carried out for gravity draining of a liquid from a large cylindrical tank (where the flow is essentially laminar) through single exit pipe in the absence and presence of Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) surfactant solutions. The variables considered are initial height of liquid in the tank, dia. of tank, length of the exit pipe and concentration of surfactant. T...
متن کاملPolymer Drag Reduction and Bioluminescence Reduction
Bioluminescence represents an operational threat to U.S. Navy nighttime operations because of the vulnerability risk due to detection because of flow-stimulated light emission from naturally occurring plankton. Conversely, bioluminescence presents additional capabilities for detecting moving objects at night, particularly in the littoral zone where conventional acoustic surveillance is severely...
متن کاملSpectra of turbulence in dilute polymer solutions
Turbulence in dilute polymer solutions when polymers are strongly stretched by the flow is investigated. We establish power-law spectra of velocity, that are not associated with a flux of a conserved quantity, in two cases. First, such spectrum is formed in the elastic waves range of high Reynolds number turbulence of polymer solutions above the coil–stretch transition. Second, such spectrum is...
