Flow of dilute polymer solutions about circular cylinders
Abstract
Flow of aqueous solutions of Polyox WSR-301 , with concentrations
of 1.0 to 200 wppm, past circular cylinders was investigated in the
drag-transition region of Reynolds numbers. Drag force, pressure
distribution, and separation angle were measured on cylinders with
diameters from 1/4 to 1-1/2 inch. Lift and drag forces acting on a
NACA-0024 hydrofoil -model were also measured...
