Effect of drag-reducing additives on pipe flow : Visualization with laser holographic interferometry

The effect of turbulence damping polymer additive on the fluid flow structure near the wall region of a circular pipe was made visible using real-time laser holographic interferometry. The interference fringes were recorded by high-speed motion photography. The gross flow behaviour of dilute soluti...
