LASER VELOCIMETER MEASUREMENT OF REYNOLDS STRESS AND TURBULENCE IN DILUTE POLYMER SOLUTION

Measurements of Reynolds stress distribution in square pipe flow, using a laser velocimeter are reported. The differences of shear stress in a 50 ppm polyox solution and ordinary water are measured. (Author)
