Asymmetrical Velocity Distribution in the Drag-Reducing Channel Flow of Surfactant Solution Caused by an Injected Ultrathin Water Layer

Although the turbulent intensity is suppressed in the drag-reducing channel flow by viscoelastic additives, the mean velocity distribution in the channel flow is symmetrical and tends to be similar to the laminar flow. In the study of near-wall modulation of the drag-reducing flow with an injected u...
