Drag reduction by a linear viscosity profile [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2004 Drag reduction by polymers in turbulent flows raises an apparent contradiction: the stretching of the polymers must increase the viscosity, so why is the drag reduced? A recent theory proposed that drag reduction in agreement with experiments is consistent with the effective viscosity growing linearly with the distance from the wall.

Experimental study on the enhanced oil recovery by in situ foam formulation
Energy Science & Engineering, 2020 In situ CO2 foams (ISCF) are studied systematically by combining in situ CO2 gas reactants (carbonate anhydrous, hydrochloric acid) and bio‐based surfactant. Sandpack flooding experiments at 60°C along with PVT experiments were carried out to analyze the
