摘要
On the basis of a postulated mechanism of drag reduction, the overall viscosity properties of suspensions are used to establish general quantitative criteria for the upper and lower limit on the conditions at which turbulent drag reduction can occur in suspensions of rigid, elongated, nearly neutrally-buoyant particles. Experimental data obtained in drag reducing suspensions of nylon fibres in water verified, quantitatively, the criterion for the upper limit. The experimental data obtained were not sufficient for a precise test of the lower limit; however, these data did show the existence of a practical lower limit, at a value slightly larger than the predicted one.
