Abstract
We construct anisotropoviscous two- and three-layer models of the effect of reduction of hydrodynamic resistance through the addition of polymers. The three-layer model can be used to compute the hydrodynamic resistance of turbulent flows with polymer additives in the entire region of variation of the Reynolds numbers, and the two-dimensional model can be used with large Reynolds numbers. Two figures. Bibliography: 3 titles.
