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 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 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 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...
متن کاملExperiments in Turbulent Pipe Flow with Polymer Additives at Maximum Drag Reduction
In this paper we report on (two-component) LDV experiments in a fully developed turbulent pipe flow with a drag-reducing polymer (partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide) dissolved in water. The Reynolds number based on the mean velocity, the pipe diameter and the local viscosity at the wall is approximately 10000. We have used polymer solutions with three different concentrations which have been c...
