Funded Activity Summary

Taming turbulence with long-chain polymers. Aerodynamics, hydrodynamics and the efficiency of pumping oil, gas and water through long pipelines can be dramatically improved by reducing the high friction loss caused by turbulent flow. This project will develop the world's largest laboratory turbulent pipe flow facility to test efficiency gains and limitations of polymer addition.
