A small amount of polymer additives can cause substantial reduction in the energy
dissipation and friction loss of turbulent flow. The problem of polymer-induced drag …

Produced waters are brines drawn during the oil and gas production. These fluids are often
re-injected into unconventional reservoirs along with certain additives and proppants in …

Hydrophobically modified associating polymers could be effective drag-reducing agents
containing weak “links” which after degradation can reform, protecting the polymer …

Aortic dissection is related to the separation of the tunica intima from the aortic wall, which
can cause blood to flow through the newly formed lumen, thereby further damaging the torn …

The transient freezing/solidification of water subjected to shear flow inside a rectangular cell
is investigated under laminar flow conditions. A flow of freezing water is established inside …

The long-term drag reduction capability of poly (ethylene oxide) with a nominal molar weight
of M w= 4× 10 6 g/mol dissolved in water was investigated in a pilot-scale pipe flow device …

IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF WATER FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS OPERATION
BY USING GUANIDINE POLYMERS Page 1 Eastern-European Journal of Enterprise …

Oscillating grids are frequently used with water and Newtonian fluids to generate controlled
turbulence and mixing. Yet, their use with shear thinning fluids still requires experimental …

The use of slickwater fluids for fracking is key for accessing unconventional shale/tight‐sand
reservoirs. To mitigate the frictional losses observed during the injection, drag reducers like …

The polymer turbulent drag reduction technology is widely applied to reduce the energy
consumption of transportation, which performs various effects with the different polymers …
