The book is intended to support further experiments or analysis in drag reduction. As accurately modeling flow behavior with drag reduction is always complex, and since drag reducing additives or solid particles are mixed in fluids, this book covers these complex phenomena in a concise, but comprehensive manner.
- Comprehensively addresses a range of drag reduction themes involving different kinds of complex mixtures
- Provides data to support further experimentation and computer modeling of drag in complex flow
- Includes an introduction to the nature and characteristics of different kinds of complex mixtures
Graduate students and researchers of mechanical engineering with a focus on flow control, rheology, non-Newtonian fluids, or complex mixtures. Chemical Engineering graduate students and researchers with an interest in polymer drag reduction. Also corporate R&D and research centres focused on complex flow problems in petrochemical or food science
