Polymers and Plastrons in Parallel Yield Enhanced Turbulent Drag Reduction

Despite polymer additives and superhydrophobic walls being well known as stand-alone methods for frictional drag reduction in turbulent flows, the possibility of employing them simultaneously in an additive fashion has remained essentially unexplored. Through experimental friction measurements in tu...
