Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The effect of a polyethylene oxide polymer solution on the development of flow in the wakes of a disk and a sphere is studied. An increase in the velocity defect and a slight increase in the width of the wake were shown with the help of motion pictures and with measurements by electrodiffusion pickups and a laser Doppler anemometer.
