Reducing Darcy coefficient by using drag reduction methods in open-channel flows: Effect on discharge capacity and potential application to mitigate river flooding impact
Drag reduction by polymer addition is a common strategy used to minimize friction losses in pipe flows but has not been tested in river flows. Present paper then aims at measuring backwater curves and velocity profiles within smooth and rough bed flume configurations to assess the capabilities of su...
