Drag reduction of biopolymer flows

Drag reduction of rigid and semi-rigid biopolymers – scleroglucan (0.005% and 0.01% w/w) and xanthan gum (0.0124% and 0.07% w/w) – in a circular pipe and a concentric annular pipe (radius ratio  = 0.5) have been investigated experimentally. The objective here is to assess and study the behaviour of...
