Alternative Title

Flow Visualization of a Polymer-Injected Variable Pressure-Gradient Turbulent Boundary Layer

Abstract

Hydrogen-bubble flow-visualization experiments have demonstrated that distinct bubble pulses cannot be obtained in water solutions of polyacrylamide of high enough molecular weight to cause drag reduction at low shear stresses. Good bubble pulses were obtained in poly(ethylene oxide) and in surfactant solutions, but they did not cause drag reduction at feasible shear stresses.
