Turbulent-drag reduction in a dilute polymer solution has been studied using the technique
of photon-correlation homodyne spectroscopy to measure velocity differences in a …

We have studied turbulent drag reduction using the technique of photon-correlation
homodyne spectroscopy to measure turbulent velocity gradients in a dilute polymer solution …

The structure of turbulence is studied and quantified in terms of the higher order moments of
the distribution of the velocity differences in the system. These moments are experimentally …

The probability density function of the velocity fluctuations in turbulent pipe flow is directly
obtained from the measured velocity-velocity correlation function by calculating the higher …

We investigate theoretically and numerically the effect of polymer additives on two-
dimensional turbulence by means of a viscoelastic model. We provide compelling evidence …

We carry out a direct numerical simulation (DNS) study that reveals the effects of polymers
on statistically steady, forced, homogeneous, and isotropic fluid turbulence. We find clear …

We present a study of the energy transfer in the bulk of a turbulent flow with dilute long-chain
polymer additives. Based on prior work by Tabor and de Gennes [Europhys. Lett. 2, 519 …

We studied the effects of long-chain polymers on the small scales of turbulence by
experimental measurements of Lagrangian accelerations in the bulk of turbulent flows of …

Motivated by turbulent drag reduction by minute concentrations of polymers we study the
effects of minor viscosity contrasts on the stability of hydrodynamic flows. The key player is a …

The localized-induction approximation (LIA) is generalized in the framework of the quasi-
one-dimensional approach to include the effect of polymer additives on stretching of thin …
