title:
Polymer turbulence drag reduction
text:
In 1948 Toms discovered by experiments that the addition of a small amount of polymer into a turbulent Newtonian solvent, which
results in a Non-Newtonian fluid solution, can reduce the skin frictional drag on a stationary
surface by up to 80%. This technology has been successfully
implemented to reduce pumping cost for oil pipelines, to increase the flow rate in
fire fighting equipment and to help irrigation and drainage. It also has potential applications in the design of ship and submarine
