Mitra D, Pandit R. Manifestations of drag reduction by polymer additives in decaying, homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. Physical review letters. 2006. [1]...

Drag-reducing agents (DRA) or drag-reducing polymers (DRP) are additives in pipelines that reduce turbulence in a pipe. Usually used in petroleum pipelines...

most important polymeric flow behaviors such as polymer turbulence drag reduction and shear thinning. It is the most commonly used polymer model that can...

wetted surface of the hull. It is, however, a problem for mixing polymers, because turbulence is needed to distribute fine filler (for example) through the...

across the body of a vehicle in motion, usually manifested as lift, turbulence, or drag. Spoilers on the front of a vehicle are often called air dams. Spoilers...

selection strategy and surface treatment of polymer composites for wind turbine blades fabrication". Polymers & Polymer Composites. 21 (7): 463–471. doi:10...

result of fluid viscosity in the boundary layer. Higher turbulence causes greater frictional drag. Reynolds number (Re) is the measure of the relationships...

aerodynamic drag in the process. Along with air openings behind the front wheel arches that reduce turbulence in the wheel housings, the drag coefficient...

easier, but induces extreme turbulence. The gates are usually attached to the bottom of the casting to minimize turbulence and splashing. The gating system...

panels, whether polymer or otherwise, can be more efficient, particularly at low solar irradiance levels. Some early selectively coated polymer collectors...

or Continental Winter Tyres using very flat wheel covers to minimize turbulence. The engine block was also made from a light alloy, so even though it...

microstructures such as in droplets or red blood cells, and drag reduction due to polymer additives. Collins is also developing new models to describe...

similar to the system used on the B-2 bomber, improves ride quality during turbulence. The 787 has a "fly-by-wire" control system similar in architecture to...

some dispersion along the path of the fluid, which may be attributed to turbulence, a non-uniform velocity profile, or diffusion. If the mean of the distribution...

chaotic turbulence, though water velocity tends to be highest in the middle part of the stream channel (known as the thalveg). This turbulence results...

for isentropic flows: when the effects of irreversible processes (like turbulence) and non-adiabatic processes (e.g. heat radiation) are small and can be...

occurs passively as a result of both ocean currents and wind-induced water turbulence; however, male gametes of centric diatoms have flagella, permitting active...

current collected by a grid sphere compared to the mass and drag reduction can be estimated. The drag per unit of collected current for a grid sphere with a...
