Abstract:

To investigate streamwise variations of turbulence statistics in the wide range of the drag reduction ratio for the zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer flow due to the injection of drag-reducing nonionic surfactant solutions, we performed the laser-Doppler velocimetry (LDV) measurement at a new experimental apparatus with the larger size than previous one. The drag reduction ratio up to 76% could be obtained, at which the mean velocity in wall-units was beyond the Virk's ultimate for polymer solutions.
