Possibility of the drag reduction effect application to reduce the cost of transport energy in water systems

The main aim of this paper is to present possible drag reduction effect application to reduce the energy costs in water transport systems. Results obtained in laboratory scale experiment present possibility to enhance the drag reduction effect in pipe flow by simultaneous addition to the transported...
