Polymer 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 کاملA Mean Flow Model for Polymer and Fiber Turbulent Drag Reduction
© Appl. Rheol. 15 (2005) 370–389 Abstract: We present a one-parameter model that fits quantitatively the mean velocity profiles from experiments and numerical simulations of drag-reduced wall-bounded flows of dilute solutions of polymers and non-Brownian fibers in the low and modest drag reduction regime. The model is based on a viscous mechanism of drag reduction, in which either extended poly...
متن کاملPolymer flexibility and turbulent drag reduction.
Polymer-induced drag reduction is the phenomenon by which the friction factor of a turbulent flow is reduced by the addition of small amounts of high-molecular-weight linear polymers, which conformation in solution at rest can vary between randomly coiled and rodlike. It is well known that drag reduction is positively correlated to viscous stresses, which are generated by extended polymers. Rod...
متن کاملDrag 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 کاملReduction of Fiber Chromatic Dispersion Effects in Fiber-Wireless and Photonic Time-Stretching System Using Polymer Modulators
We have investigated the general characteristics of the power penalty due to the fiber chromatic dispersion effects in both fiber-wireless and photonic time-stretching systems. Two different modulation schemes have been demonstrated to reduce this penalty using our novel polymer modulators incorporating a multimode interference (MMI) structure. A single-sideband (SSB) modulator configuration ha...
