Achieving Drag Reduction Through Polymer-Surfactant Interaction
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)Drag reduction is a well-observed phenomenon, it was first observed by the British chemist Toms in 1946, yet its mechanism is still unknown to this day. Polymer Drag reduction has found application in reducing pumping costs ... -
Turbulent Drag Reduction by Polymers, Surfactants and Their Mixtures in Pipeline Flow
(University of Waterloo, 2011-11-24)lthough extensive research work has been carried out on the drag reduction behavior of polymers and surfactants alone, little progress has been made on the synergistic effects of combined polymers and surfactants. A number ...
