Drag reduction by polymer additives in decaying turbulence.
We present results from a systematic numerical study of decaying turbulence in a dilute polymer solution by using a shell-model version of the finitely extensible nonlinear elastic and Peterlin equations. Our study leads to an appealing definition of the drag reduction for the case of decaying turbulence. We exhibit several new results, such as the potential-energy spectrum of the polymer, hith...
متن کاملManifestations of drag reduction by polymer additives in decaying, homogeneous, isotropic turbulence.
The existence of drag reduction by polymer additives, well established for wall-bounded turbulent flows, is controversial in homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. To settle this controversy, we carry out a high-resolution direct numerical simulation of decaying, homogeneous, isotropic turbulence with polymer additives. Our study reveals clear manifestations of drag-reduction-type phenomena: On the...
متن کاملFundamental Physics Underlying Polymer Drag Reduction, from Homogeneous DNS Turbulence with the FENE-P Model
Reduction in surface shear stress in turbulent boundary layers implies suppression of turbulent momentum flux, a large-eddy phenomenon. The physics by which dilute concentrations of long-chain molecules alter large-eddy structure and momentum flux is not well understood. Experiment, however, indicates an essential mix of turbulent velocity fluctuations, polymer molecules, and mean shear. We stu...
متن کاملDrag reduction by polymer additives from turbulent spectra.
We extend the analysis of the friction factor for turbulent pipe flow reported by G. Gioia and P. Chakraborty [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 044502 (2006)] to the case where drag is reduced by polymer additives.
متن کاملExperiments in Turbulent Pipe Flow with Polymer Additives at Maximum Drag Reduction
In this paper we report on (two-component) LDV experiments in a fully developed turbulent pipe flow with a drag-reducing polymer (partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide) dissolved in water. The Reynolds number based on the mean velocity, the pipe diameter and the local viscosity at the wall is approximately 10000. We have used polymer solutions with three different concentrations which have been c...
