Polymer turbulence drag reduction
In 1948 Toms discovered by experiments that the addition of a small amount of polymer into a turbulent Newtonian solvent (parts per million by weight), whichresults in a Non-Newtonian fluid solution, can reduce the skin frictional drag on a stationarysurface by up to 80% . This technology has been successfullyimplemented to reduce pumping cost for oil pipelines, to increase the flow rate infire fighting equipment and to help irrigation and drainage (Sellin & Ollis, 1980;Khalil et al., 2002). It also has potential applications in the design of ship and submarinehulls to achieve an increased speed and reduced energy cost.
