Enhanced Drag in Pipe Turbulent Flow by an Aqueous Electrolyte: an Electroviscous Effect [PDF]
, 2009 Drag enhancement is reported for turbulent pipe flow of aqueous electrolyte solutions. No electroviscous effect was obtained with laminar flow. Nor was any unusual pressure drop observed for laminar or turbulent flow of non-electrolyte aqueous solutions ...

Superhydrophobic surfaces and their potential application to hydrodynamic drag reduction
, 2014 Superhydrophobic surfaces appear frequently in the natural world, for example allowing insects to respire underwater and plants, such as the lotus leaf, to have self-cleaning properties.

SUPERHYDROPHOBIC SURFACES FOR DRAG REDUCTION
Istituto Lombardo - Accademia di Scienze e Lettere - Rendiconti di Scienze, 2014 Properties of superhydrophobic materials are examined in light of their possible use for drag reduction in naval applications. To achieve superhydrophobicity a low-surface-energy material must be structured so as to minimize the liquid-solid interactions.

Computational Analysis of Turbulent Flow over a Bluff Body with Drag Reduction Devices
, 2020 Reducing aerodynamic drag of heavy trucks is crucially important for the reduction of fuel consumption and hence results in less air pollution. One way to reduce the aerodynamic drag is the deployment of drag reduction devices at the rear of trucks and ...

Agitator Tank Device and Drag Reduction Agent Evaluation
, 2008 The device that consists of tank and disk agitator for evaluation drag reduction agents (DRA) was established. The effect of DRA was defined by testing the changes of agitator torque that drives the disk rotation.

Investigation of relationship between drag and lift coefficients for a generic car model [PDF]
, 2014 The paper presents a study of aerodynamic characteristics of a car, which has the simplified geometric shape, so called Ahmed body. Flow around the body and the influence of its rear slant angle on drag are widely studied by numerous researchers. However,

Drag reduction on a simplified 3D bluff body
, 2015 A complete flow control over road vehicles is difficult to achieve because of different phenomena occurring in flow evolution, i.e. the wheel rotation and ground effect deeply influence the flow features.
