Drag reduction by polymer additives from turbulent spectra

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We extend the analysis of the friction factor for turbulent pipe flow reported by G. Gioia, P. Chakraborty and N. Goldenfeld (GCG) (G. Gioia and P. Chakraborty, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 044502 (2006), N. Goldenfeld, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 044503 (2006)) to the case where drag is reduced by polymer additives.
