MEASUREMENTS OF TURBULENCE CHARACTERISTICS IN WATER AND DILUTE POLYMER SOLUTIONS

Measurements of turbulence characteristics were made inside a boundary layer in external flow of water and in water with polymer additives of the Polyox type. Flush mounted hot-film sensors and wedge, parabolic, and cylindrical sensors were used to measure the turbulent velocity fluctuations. Graphs are given of energy density, dissipation, turbulence shear correlation spectra, and microscale of turbulence shear correlation spectra, and microscale of turbulence distribution.
