FLAT PLATE FRICTIONAL DRAG REDUCTION WITH POLYMER INJECTION

A method is developed for prediction of frictional-drag reduction in high Reynolds number flows past smooth flat plates with polymer injection near the leading edge. Numerical results are given for water-Polyox WSR 301 solutions with either uniform concentration or injection.
