Drag Reduction by Surfactant Solutions in Gravity Driven Flow Systems
Efflux time measurements are carried out for gravity draining of a liquid from a large cylindrical tank (where the flow is essentially laminar) through single exit pipe in the absence and presence of Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) surfactant solutions. The variables considered are initial height of liquid in the tank, dia. of tank, length of the exit pipe and concentration of surfactant. T...
متن کاملEffects of Hydrophobic Surface on Skin-Friction Drag
Effects of hydrophobic surface on skin-friction drag are investigated through direct numerical simulations of a turbulent channel flow. Hydrophobic surface is represented by a slip-boundary condition on the surface. When a slip-boundary condition is used in the streamwise direction, the skin-friction drag decreases and turbulence intensities and turbulence structures, near-wall streamwise vorti...
متن کاملShark-skin surfaces for fluid-drag reduction in turbulent flow: a review.
The skin of fast-swimming sharks exhibits riblet structures aligned in the direction of flow that are known to reduce skin friction drag in the turbulent-flow regime. Structures have been fabricated for study and application that replicate and improve upon the natural shape of the shark-skin riblets, providing a maximum drag reduction of nearly 10 per cent. Mechanisms of fluid drag in turbulent...
متن کاملAdaptive Control of Wall-Turbulence for Skin Friction Drag Reduction and Some Consideration for High Reynolds Number Flows
During the last five years, we have made an extensive research and development study on active feedback control of wall turbulence during the course of the Project for Organized Research Combination System by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Technology of Japan (MEXT). The present paper introduces some major scientific and engineering accomplishments in our group. Especially, the ...
متن کاملDrag reduction in the turbulent Kolmogorov flow.
We investigate the phenomenon of drag reduction in a viscoelastic fluid model of dilute polymer solutions. By means of direct numerical simulations of the three-dimensional turbulent Kolmogorov flow we show that drag reduction takes place above a critical Reynolds number Re(c). An explicit expression for the dependence of Re(c) on polymer elasticity and diffusivity is derived. The values of the...
