Today and Future Possibilities of Industrial Applications of Drag Reduction

  • Conference paper
The Influence of Polymer Additives on Velocity and Temperature Fields

Summary

The paper sets out details of specific drag reduction applications and are divided from flow point of view into internal and external flow. These include: hydrotransport, transport of sludges in pipelines and sedimentation, heating circuits, irrigation, hydro-power stations, sewers, marine and hydrofoils and jet-cutting. Wherever possible field test or industrial utilization results are included and discussed.
