Drag Reduction in Turbulent Flows by Polymers and Surfactants

An Experimental Study Into the Mechanisms of Drag Reduction by Additives

In 1949, Toms (Toms B.A., (1949, 1977)) observed that small amounts of a drag reducing agent (DRA) could cause a considerable drag reduction in turbulent pipe flow. In application of polymer enhanced oil recovery, degradation of polymers in the supply lead could cause clogging. I ...
Oil is one of the major contributors to energy consumption. Oil reserves are expressed as the total amount of economically and technically producible oil. Total oil consumption is increasing (per capita it remains more or less the same) but it has no unambiguous influence on the ...
