Abstract
Experimental measurements of drag, root mean square surface pressure fluctuation, surface pressure fluctuation spectrum, and radiated flow noise on a rotating cylinder in water are described. It was found that the addition of the dilute solution of polymer additive would reduce drag, surface pressure fluctuation, and also high frequency radiated flow noise.
The polymer additives used were Polyox WSR 301, Separan, and JP 2 polymer in concentrations of 10 to 1000 ppmw.
