Abstract
The effect of polymer additives (reducing the tangential forces of friction) on the generation of boundary gas nuclei (prospective centers of cavitation) in the flow of weak aqueous solutions around solid surfaces is considered. Relationships are derived between changes taking place in the size and frequency of formation of the nuclei and the reduction in the tangential stresses.
