Drag reduction via polymer solute: 3D numerical simulations of pipe flow
Sun, 2023-07-23 04:30 - Konstantin Volokh
The mechanism of drag reduction via polymer additives is long debated in the literature. We present results of 3D numerical simulations of the realistic pipe flow where material instabilities develop into turbulence. We observe in the simulations that the addition of the polymer solute suppresses the chaotic turbulent motion, indeed, in accordance with the experimental observations of the phenomenon.
