Remarkable differences in dispersion of a tracer material injected into turbulent pipe flows of water and water containing as little as 2·5 parts per million by weight of a soluble high-molecular-weight drag-reducing polyoxyethylene additive have been measured. Analysis of the tracer response curves in terms of a simple one-parameter model shows that the observed results are compatible with a drag-reduction mechanism based on thickening of the viscous sublayer adjoining the wall. Other experiments, reported briefly, suggest that polymer adsorption on to the wall is responsible for this thickening.

Abstract Recently, many studies on surfactant solutions have been conducted for drag reduction in a circular pipe flow. However, currently there are very few studies on rotating disks in the solutions. In this study, drag reduction for an enclosed rotating disk in surfactant solutions was clarified experimentally. Experiments were carried out to measure the torque acting on one side of a rotating disk, using a torque measurement device located at the top of the rotating shaft. Test surfactant solutions were Ethoquad O/12 at concentrations of 50, 100 and 200ppm. The temperatures of solutions were 18°C and 28°C. The clearances between the disk and the stator were 10mm and 20mm. It was shown that the Reynolds number at the transition point increased with increasing concentration and temperature of these solutions. The maximum drag reduction ratio was about 41% in 200ppm Ethoquad O/12 solution at 28°C.

Abstract Drag reduction effect by traveling wavy wall deformation control in turbulent pipe flow was experimentally investigated. From the visualization, we confirmed the downstream traveling wave although it was not uniform in the circumferential direction. When the frequency is 110 Hz, the wall deformation amplitude and the wavelength indicated that the effective values for drag reduction. The wavespeed is approximately effective values for drag reduction. As a result, the maximum drag reduction rate of 6.8 % is obtained. The result of a LDV measurement shows that the mean streamwise velocity gradient decreased near the wall by the control, which leads to drag reduction.
