REDUCING THE HYDRAULIC DRAG IN PIPELINES WITH POLYMER ADDITIVES
The addition of small amounts of high molecular weight compounds to water or to petroleum products significantly reduces the turbulent friction during the flow of these liquids. The aim of the present article is a detailed and systematic exposition of the experimental results obtained in studies of this effect.
